Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash with micro on Ubuntu, then inspect internal/action/tab.go around line 292 and follow the call chain from cmd/micro/micro.go. The issue is resolved when launching micro no longer produces the reported nil-pointer panic; the missing commit hash and terminal details may limit reproduction.
