oh no, the behavior changes on the insider build of windows

So, to keep you in the loop!

The Windows Insider builds support hardware-enforced stack protection, and there was some work done in the compiler/linker shipped with Visual Studio 2019 16.7 to support laying down exception handling metadata.

It looks like there’s a disagreement about what that metadata should look like between Windows and the compiled binary. 😄

Still figuring out whether it’s a Windows bug or a compiler/linker issue!

That’s the weirdest part: this is what I get with the same version of Terminal (!)

Thanks for helping troubleshoot with us!

Okay, this is a shot in the dark. Can you change your fontWeight from regular to medium? I can’t reproduce a crash with that value, but it does cause a settings load failure that might be implicated in a startup crash. 😄

Nah, GUIDs are basically just random numbers
