helix: Helix 23.05 (d52b7903) freezes editing markdown

Summary

I’ve been running the git release of Helix on arch for a couple years now. My current install is on Garuda Linux:

I’ve been editing markdown all day, every day for a while and helix started freezing recently where all keystroke processing ceases. Nothing seems to release it, esc, colon, etc.

I’ve taken to pgrep hx follwed by pkill hx at the command line to resolve and restart helix.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx
2. edit files with md extension
3. wait for freeze within a few minutes

I expected this to happen:

No frezee.

Instead, this happened:

Freeze.

Helix log

I’ll provide the verbose log when I get it.
