Yeah this is what I experienced as well. Seems to depend on what exactly is rendered
on the screen but usually scrolling around line 160 in iconlookup seems to crash st.
On my system with font size 16 and full screen (1920 x 1080, showing 47 lines) it
crashes without fail when opening iconlookup and going to line 160 though.
