Description
-
[X ] I am on the latest Hyper.app version
-
[ X] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
-
OS version and name: Windows 10
-
Hyper.app version: 1.0.0
-
Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/con-ssc/26cd65a2888cf26953a801e0799a9ae4
-
Relevent information from devtools (CMD+SHIFT+I on Mac OS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): no errors
-
The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes
When you live edit the config file and produce in error that is not expected, all your work is gone because hyper resets to default config. For example, if you use undefined shell arguments when you forget "" or '' around the arguments.

Research direction
The issue points to .hyper.js and a vanilla Hyper.app reproduction on Windows 10; begin by reproducing the invalid shell-argument edit using the linked Gist and inspect the resulting behavior in DevTools. Done means an invalid live edit no longer discards the user's prior configuration, with the behavior covered by a regression check.
