App crashes after deleting text from transcript

[Jswallow7]

Describe the bug While Editing a transcript that was generated via Mozilla Deep Speech, I will delete words that have been repeated as such: "It's been about twenty five years. years. years."

When I delete the 2 extra instances of "years." and then click the SAVE button, the UI freezes. I cannot click out of the project or select new text. The Save button is frozen red after clicking it.

Whenever I quit the software and reopen, there are even more instances of the word "Years." duplicated another 4 more times. This increases after every attempt and the app will freeze every time I try to do this.

Sorry about that @Jswallow7 It's an issue with the underlying transcript editor component (pietrop/slate-transcript-editor) , and more specifically the alignment module pietrop/stt-align-node.

The good news is that I think I might have found a fix. https://github.com/pietrop/stt-align-node/pull/8

I just pushed a new version, 1.6.0 should be available in the release section shortly 🤞

Let me know if you get a chance to try it out and run into any issue.
