Description

I attach the file.
I've had this problem with micro on and on for years now. But there is literally no text editor remotely close, all others are worthless. So it irks me to no end to have to put up with it. I could use mousepad... But I need my waifu wallpaper behind while I work !
There is no error message, it just freezes then the micro process becomes a zombie, multiplies and eats half if not all the CPU resources (4 CPUS !). Cleaning the config does nothing. The debug mode does nothing, the log is empty beside "micro started".
Version: 2.0.14.
Try the file, just try to delete the first line.
baseof.html

Research direction

Reproduce the freeze in micro 2.0.14 using the attached baseof.html file and deleting its first line. Check the reported zombie processes, CPU usage, debug mode, and log output; done means the same edit no longer freezes micro or leaves runaway processes.
