Anyone else getting repeated crashes with Devin Desktop? It's been happening to me all the time and it's getting really frustrating. I can't get any real work done with the desktop app because it just keeps dying on me.

Because of this, I've had to fall back to the CLI, which works fine but obviously isn't the experience I signed up for.

The renderer process dies with an access violation:

2026-08-15 12:19:22.741 [error] CodeWindow: renderer process gone (reason: crashed, code: -1073741819)

-1073741819 is 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION). Right before the crash, the renderer log shows a use-after-dispose in the text model decorations system, triggered during a layout reset:

2026-08-15 12:01:43.348 [error] Model is disposed!: Error: Model is disposed!
    at V9._assertNotDisposed (.../workbench.desktop.main.js:671:473)
