This is a lot of tickets, and by gathering them all together here I'm not stating with certainty that all of them are the same issue, or even that all of them are frontend issues. The truth is always more nuanced than that. But this is a lot of issues, all of them recently created. A small number of users reported most of them, suggesting that those users may inadvertently "trigger" things with their style of usage. Some of the referenced cores haven't seen any major work in a long time, so it seems unlikely that those cores are broken.
I want to investigate and fix core determinism issues, but the water is very muddy right now.
