Thanks for the report - at what point did this crash happened?

I have started my work day just opening Joplin, first I forced the synchronization to update it, and error came up, Closes Joplin and open again and error appears just opening it. Later I have entered through my iPad or using an alternative laptop and both Joplin working without issues.

Adding more detail.
I opened Joplin in safe mode, and it started to work in this mode.
Then I went back to normal mode and, Joplin opened without any problem.
I do not understand this behavior, but fortunately Joplin works again. Only a minor issue relate to any plugin layout, after changed layout and closing and opening Joplin sometime this was fixing. Unfortunately I did not identify the plugin makes this minor problem as possible source of the previous mentioned fatal error, but right now all working well.
Thanks for a prompt answer and I will keep be informed if this happens again.
