Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash in Micro 2.0.8 with a JavaScript file larger than 1.5 MB: open it, press Ctrl+a, then Backspace once. Inspect the crash output shown in the linked screenshot and compare behavior after deletion; done means deleting the selected contents no longer crashes Micro.
