No.  However I use my own library that provides tabs in the tab-line
(kind of alternative implementation of tab-line.el), and I noticed that
the "assertion failed: w->window_end_valid" only occurs when the tab-line
is used (globally set).  My tab-line extensively uses text properties:
display (images, space), help-echo and keymap, plus some other specific
properties.

I am trying to get a reproducible recipe as simple as possible from
"emacs -Q".  I will post news here, if I manage to get something
interesting.

I agree.  Unfortunately this display issue prevent me to go further
with the previous crash in GC.

Thanks
