Hey guys I was editing an email and I got this error :
I can't see any emails anymore even after restarting.

Ubuntu 16.04
Mailspring version : 1.2.1

Error: Failed to execute 'setStart' on 'Range': The offset 4294967294 is larger than the node's length (1).

Seeing this exact same error on Windows 10 (v 1.2.2); however, a reboot of Mailspring fixes the issue for me

[alfirin]

I restarted the app and it dosn't work either.

[josselex]

Got the same problem, Windows 10

[szbence89]

same on ubuntu 18.10 with Mailspring 1.5.3-420ce003

[mihir-amrelia]

Faced similar issue. Toggling 'Reading Pane' ON->OFF->ON helped.

[smashingx1]

seems like this bug has been around for a while and it has been persistent through different versions of the product. I got this error on Mailspring 1.5.7. I'm using Linux Mint DE 2. Can we fix this issue please? Just as a side note, I tried what mihir-amrelia suggested but it didn't work for me, I'm still seeing the same error.

[nilukush]

I have this issue now. As mentioned above, toggling reading pane helped.
