Attempting to add new elements to a timeline has a high chance of stalling, which usually lasts a minute or two, before the tab crashes entirely. Unsure of what causes it or if there's any sort of pattern, but computer specs below. Storage: 1.35TB Graphics Card: 8GB Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 4500 6-Core Processor (3.60 GHz) Installed RAM: 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable) System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Steps to Reproduce

Unsure. I just open the website in Opera GX, attempt to create an Event or Era in the Timeline, and the bug occurs.

Operating System

Windows

Browser

Opera

Edit: It's because the website can't handle really big numbers'
To add onto this, I've found just now that after it happens once, the issue will persist even when I reload the page. It can even just break the tab entirely and completely freeze it up'

Further update, now the page just crashes on startup. Maybe it has to do with that I set the upper limit of an era to a few billion? I figure it's just a number though, so it's a strange reaction

Hello, can you send me the id and title of the timeline this is happening in? I can see that your world has only 1 timeline and this one just opens normally so I'll need to debug stuff further :)
