Description
**Describe the bug**
Just posting here as a warning of a potential breakage:
In nixpkgs we bumped the electron version to be used in obsidian, which led to obsidian crashing/freezing. We narrowed it down to being caused by the enabled harper plugin.
So I wanted to post this here as a warning. I am not sure if someone wants to investigate further or might even fix it prior to obsidian bumping their bundled electron.
Here is the nixpkgs issue for context: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/539153
**Platform**
Obsidian
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked nixpkgs issue and reproducing the crash or freeze with Obsidian using the newer Electron version and the enabled Harper plugin. Done means identifying the compatibility cause and confirming that Obsidian no longer crashes or freezes with that Electron bump.
