Description

In the following program:

#lang scribble/manual
@(require (for-label racket)) @defform[(run& proc)]{

 Some text goes here.

}

If I put my cursor on the third to last line (in between the } and Some text goes here and hit M-q, the entire definitions panel goes blank (no cursor, nothing but white). An error flashes briefly in bottom, but its too fast for me to read. The error doesn't show up in the terminal when I launch DrRacket manually. ctrl-z doesn't fix things, I need to close the tab and reopen.

I'm currently running the latest git head (as of a few hours ago).

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in DrRacket with the supplied Scribble program: place the cursor between the closing brace and “Some text goes here” and press M-q. Observe the definitions panel and the brief bottom error; done means the panel remains usable after the command and the failure is covered by a regression check.
