With the contents of the buffer as shown, I tried to add a diacritic (highlighted in the menu to the right) to the last symbol, and micro crashed.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash using the buffer and diacritic shown in the screenshot, at commit fad95c0 on Mac OS with iTerm2. Trace the failing input path from that reproduction; the work is done when adding the diacritic no longer crashes micro and the regression is covered by a test.
