This is not directly a duplicate issue of harfbuzz but, it is an issue related to the version of electron. updating electron makes this issue go away and we are already tracking electron update issues so, it is a duplicate or sub-issue for that.

Same problem here on Fedora 32
Also a problem on Fedora 34 :-)

Crash into the same problem on Wayland(Sway), Arch Linux.

@prertik If this is duplicate, is there a solution, or other issue that we can refer to?

@glyh Sadly no. There's not one immediate fix. As I mentioned in the discussion: #2506 work is going on a new version and that can only fix these electron/packages issue.
