A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to '.Open Editor from mac top tab Harper icon..'

3. Scroll down to '.Paste into Editor window...'
4. See error - no error, just hangs
No error - hangs with the green "All Clear"

Research direction
Start by reproducing the hang in the Harper desktop editor on MacOS Tahoe: open it from the Harper menu-bar icon and paste one or two text snippets. Check whether grammar and spelling results stop appearing while the green “All Clear” state remains. Done means repeated pastes continue to run the grammar and spell check and show results.
