Str:

  1. Open the "Store" app.
  2. Wait a few seconds until focus lands in the document.
  3. Alt+tab to another application.
  4. Wait 5 seconds.
  5. Move focus somewhere.
  • Result: Freeze!

I think this is because the app process gets suspended when it moves to the background and the isAlive property on the VirtualBuffer tries to query an object in that process. I definitely see isAlive in the stack for the freeze warning.
Blocking #4744, #4784
