[intradesign]

While editing the email body the following error message was displayed:
Error: Failed to execute 'setStart' on 'Range': The offset 4294967295 is larger than the node's length (15).

What I did was: Typing several pararaphs. Then I wanted to mark 4 line with Shift-Arrow-Down to apply a bold format. Instead of marking the lines below the current cursor position in the editing area the messages below the current message in the messages panel were marked and the error message appeared.

Hey! Thanks for reporting this - this is a pretty nasty issue. I'll see if we can get this fixed - there have been some updates to Slate since we released the new editor and we need to incorporate those fixes in.

I got this, too:

[tzar]

Happened to me too - on the first email I've ever tried to write with mailspring no less ☹ the only formatting I had used was a bullet point list..

[jnylen]

Happens for me too.

[grolinux]

Same here. Happens to me.

Happens to me as well. I noticed this always happens when I try to navigate the text with keyboard arrow keys.

[jyboudreau]

Possibly related to ianstormtaylor/slate#710 ?

[sonufrienko]

I have this error too on edit

[Tamriel]

I still get this error in version 1.2.1.

[jmgiaever]

Happend here too today. V 1.2.1-7e7747b6

[joaofar]

happened to me just now... after having composed a whole email... can't seem to access it again.
Think it was the arrow keys as well.

This is a major no no.
It's basic functionality we're talking here, if there's a chance this could happen when composing an email...

[intradesign]

This still happens to me very regularly. And it still prevents me using Mailspring as default mail client. Isn`t there a solution in sight?

[bengotow]

Going to merge this in to #921 - I've been hoping we can upgrade to a new version of Slate for a while now, but there are a few performance regressions that still need to be fixed in Slate. Hopefully this can be fixed soon.
