Also try to open a file (about 200 lines), type or scroll the buffer via the mouse wheel. Crashes as well.

- Neovide crashes (window closed)
Expected behavior Don’t crash.
Screenshots
I captured a video (1.84MB in .mp4) of the whole process but, seems unable to upload.
Desktop:
- OS: Windows 10 22H2
- Neovide Version: build from 3e575fcd (via
cargo install --path .) - Neovim Version: 0.9.5 (via
scoop install neovim)
Please run neovide --log and paste the contents of the .log file created in the current directory here:
Additional context This may be a stupid issue. I tried various versions of both Neovide and Neovim, and always crashed. I just have no idea what happened. Could anyone help me out?
Thank you for making this impressed project!

Not necessarily, there’s a long history of problems related to the code in question.
On January 24th 2021 this was reported, with code demonstrating that read was broken. And as far as I can see that has always been the case before that
That was only fixed one year later on April 26th 2022:
This was detected as a regression on July 5th 2022. But it was not really a regression, it was just an inmproper fix
That was quickly fixed on July 10th:
But, I’m not the only one thinking that the fix is wrong https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98950#pullrequestreview-1030831527. And that is still the code used today.
My point here is that things around this have been broken for a long time, and not affecting many people, or these issues would not stay open for this long.
I will try to create a stress test for the pipe IO, and see if we can get an easier way to reproduce these issues, and potentially report upstream.
