IllegalArgumentException: end cannot negative. [end: -1]

See original GitHub issue

I have the following crash in production. The stacktrace doesn’t refer to my code in any place and unfortunatelly I’m not able to reproduce it.

Besides everything else - there’s missing “be” in the exception message.

I had this problem too on Desktop (Windows), but it seems to be resolved in v1.2.0-alpha01-dev741.

The version I use is v1.2.0-alpha04
