Frequent random crashes during fast queries on encrypted Realm files. Occurs in v12/v20; no issues in v11. #7084

How frequently does the bug occur?
Always
Description
Hello,
Recently while using Realm.js, I encountered a situation where I needed to upgrade Realm. The version I was originally using was 11.10.2.
After upgrading Realm to v20 (the current community version), I confirmed that several core issues were resolved, but the following problems began to occur: (CRASH OUTPUT ATTACHED BELOW)
This issue primarily occurs when multiple queries are running rapidly. What's clear is that my Electron app can open multiple windows, and crashes happen more frequently when multiple windows are open.
Crashes also occur less frequently when only a single window is open. Sometimes it crashes immediately upon opening a window (if a query is already running in the previous window), or it crashes while queries are running in both windows after opening them.
One thing is certain:
- This issue does not occur at all in V11.
- This issue occurs on all operating systems. (Desktop-web app only; I haven't verified React + React Native.)
- Furthermore, the problem only reproduces when the data file (.realm) is encrypted.
- I use only the local database without Atlas Device Sync service.
To summarize:
- Realm 11.0.0 ~ 11.10.2 (Any settings) -> No issues
- Realm 11.0.0 ~ 12.15.0 ~ 20.2.0 (Without Encryption) -> No issues
- Realm 12.0.0 ~ 12.15.0 (With Encryption) -> Oops
- Realm 20.0.0 ~ 20.2.0 (With Encryption) -> Oops
Additionally, since my environment uses the same encryptionKey and all realm settings, it is not an issue with the key used for encryption.
// Realm configuration used for the reproduction
const realm = await new Realm({
schema: [TempData, RandomValues],
path: await ipcRenderer.invoke('onGetDatabasePath'),
encryptionKey: new Uint8Array([
65, 15, 0, 134, 56, 223, 76, 174, 39, 130, 6, 44, 210, 57, 181, 149, 77, 14, 24, 230, 252,
2, 250, 89, 149, 61, 209, 98, 163, 94, 140, 68, 9, 117, 102, 216, 105, 69, 99, 79, 25, 146,
110, 36, 107, 223, 147, 50, 227, 135, 249, 223, 16, 85, 47, 36, 168, 149, 91, 58, 238, 16,
49, 123
]).buffer,
schemaVersion: 2
})All problems occur with random probability, but they happen more easily than one might expect.
After a crash occurs, restarting the app will not corrupt the Realm file, and it can be used normally again.
I would appreciate it if you could kindly review this issue.
Regards,

Reproduction Steps
I have created a repository where you can reproduce this issue.
https://github.com/jooy2/issue-electron-vue-realm
After receiving the repository, run the following command.
$ npm i
$ npm run devThis project allows you to run tests that infinitely repeat queries to add and delete dummy data.
When you press the 'Start test' button in the app, the quick query runs repeatedly. After that, you can open a new window using 'Open new window'.
Leave the window running the query open, open a new window, and run the query again in the newly opened window.
After that, if you close a specific window, reopen windows, or keep the query running, the app may crash intermittently.
Below is the reproduced video. Issues occur at approximately 0:16 and 1:20.
