Bug description

I tried to select some text in helix editor under Linux Mint Cinnamon Wayland, and the whole desktop environment crashes after I released my left mouse button. I think this is a bug since the reproduction is repeatable and the result is dreadful.

Here is how I install helix:
wget https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/releases/download/25.07.1/helix_25.7.1-1_amd64.deb sudo apt install ./helix_25.7.1-1_amd64.deb

Stack trace:
stack-trace.log

Steps to reproduce

1. Open helix.
   hx /path/to/file

2. Select some text until release my mouse button.

3. Release my mouse button and the screen instantly stucks.

4. After <10 seconds, the desktop environment crashes and recover with no background wallpaper.

5. If try this operation again, the desktop environment completely crashes and I have to use tty.

Expected behavior

No crashes. If helix got bug, just kill the terminal or break normally.

Additional information

Test environment:

Cinnamon Wayland (Experimental)
helix version: helix 25.07.1 (a05c151b)

Does this happen with Muffin from master branch?

Not tested, I've left Mint for a couple days.
