Comment 6 for bug 1872667

Hi Łukasz, the development build being offered now suffers from one critical bug with the potential to cause data loss. This particular issue causes a racing / thread safety problem leading to a crash that was introduced due to an oversight on my part when I migrated the code-base to GTK3/Sourceview3/etc. It was reported here [1].

Due to the nature of the bug, it is difficult to reliably trigger. The user who reported the bug mentions it could happen within 30 minutes of normal gummi usage, or not happen at all after 10+ hours of working. I was able to reliably trigger it within the hour by using a script that simulated constant user input. The patch I wrote and included in 0.8.1 was verified to solve the problem using the same method.
