Description

Atom just crashes when I want to add a project folder.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Atom
2. Click on ›Add Project Folder‹
3. Most of the time, but not always, Atom crashes without message.

Expected behavior:

Opening Dialog to add the project folder.

Actual behavior:

It crashes. Most of the time. Sometimes it works.
After using Atom in safe-mode and using the normal mode again, it seem to work for a while, before crashing again.

Reproduces how often:

90%-ish?
But so far not in safe-mode.

I did not had this bug, dunno, 2 months ago? But I have this issue even after restart of the PC now.

Additional Information

I currently have 11 Project Folders opened.

I use Wayland.

You probably do not reproduce this bug and I have no idea which conditions have to met to cause this behavior, but maybe I am not alone with this? There was another now closed issue of the same or similar problem, but this was on windows and 3 years ago now.

Update: Reproduced in safe-mode.
