The bug only appears when discord is modified to work with system electron. The two aur packages discord_arch_electron, and discord-canary-electron-bin, do this.
discord-canary-electron-bin is waiting on a solution on arch's packaging's end, and discord_arch_electron switched to electron 15 in order to avoid the bug.
@Nicola: The same fix should work for electron13. The curious bit though is why the previous builds didn't exhibit this issue, even though they were built with the same devtools release.
[1] Tested with `electron /usr/share/doc/clang/html/index.html` which crashed with 16.0.7-2 but works now.
I'll go ahead and rebuild electron13 without -fstack-clash-protection for now.
