Interesting that all reports are from macOS.
This looks to me to be a bug of sqlite (or cpython) on macOS.
Electrum 4.5.0 now uses python 3.10 for the mac binaries -- I will close this and reopen if there are new reports from new versions.

Good evening @SomberNight,

I just received another crash report related to this issue. The crash occured on Electrum 4.5.2.
I'm not sure which versions of Electrum include the fix but this is the first report from anything
newer than 4.4.6 since you closed the issue.

Could you please check if this issue really is resolved? Here is the traceback that I just collected:
