Thanks! Unfortunately I got a random crash with this build (Nova was in the foreground but not being actively used) within 20 minutes: Nova crash 7 · GitHub
I’m sorry that I can’t give you more helpful diagnostics. 
@logan I finally got back to my computer, and will try your new build.
This week I used Nova quite a lot but just editing NGINX configuration files (plain text) and did not experience any crashes with those plain text files (now syntax highlighters).
Today I went back to work on my regular projects and crashed a couple of minutes in albeit Nova has being open in the background for days since the last crash on the 28/Sept.
In this crash I had three projects open (my usual for this work), one minimized, on on the background an the active project all on the same monitor.
The project that was active had two splits, and over 20 tabs. One split has mainly markdown files where Im documenting my code and other PHP, jS files fro reference. The left split is the one im using mainly to code and had multiple js (vanilla js) files.
I was editing the markdown, deleting some lines, do remember reaching the edge but not deleting the line. When I reopened the project after the crash I lost my changes so did the delete again but everything worked as expected. I tried to walk back my steps and replicate the crash but had no success…

@logan Im daily driving the build that you shared here and so far no crashes for me. Yet today I noticed a weird bug where the layout will randomly leave all this extra (like a lot) of space (like lines). Resizing the window/minimizing and other attempts to force a redraw did not solve the issue. I have to edit the buffer by deleting a new line and then all the white space went away. If you check the screenshot you can see that the fourth line is way down. In another occasion (different files) the amount of space was smaller.
I’m getting this all the time now! It’s like using Windows 3.1 back in the day, where is you’re not constantly hitting Save you’re absolutely guaranteed to lose your work.
I’ve noticed that my version of Nova (v11.6) crashes every time line wrapping is not enabled.
What languages are you using? I tried disabling line wrapping and can not replicate the crashes.
Im using the last version @logan posted here and it crashes way less than the official release. Im still baffle by the fact I can’t find a pattern that replicates my crashes. Since using this new version only had two crashes.
Like @logan mention all my crashes are while Nova is drawing/doing the editor layout.
