Hi,
From time to time I experience 'Invalid buffer id' errors. So far, it is unclear why and how these are deterministically being triggered, and therefore I'm also unsure how to provide a path to replicate the error.
Below you can find a screenshot of error.
As a suggestion, I'm experimenting with the following change in my code locally (creating branches is forbidden):
--- a/lua/alpha.lua
+++ b/lua/alpha.lua

I'm happy to hear any suggestions!
