Description
I'm unsure when the cutoff is for when it starts crashing but I remember it happening to me often back when i was an active developer so it can't be that many conditions. Recently other users have been reporting the same issue.

Research direction
Start by reproducing deletion of a non-empty alt group in the emulator integration and narrow down the conditions that trigger the crash. Trace the deletion path from that operation, then verify that affected groups can be deleted without crashing and add regression coverage if the project’s test setup supports it.
