Athena keeps crashing

Whenever I open Athena, the sidebar search will not load, and this subsequently prevents autosave from working, meaning I can't currently use the new Athena and am relying on the old editor.   On occasion the sidebar does load, but after a while it crashes again. Reloading the page or logging out and back in does not seem to work. As well, I can't find anything in particular that seems to cause this, no specific actions.   I've asked other people and they don't have this issue, so I'm not sure why it's just me.  

Steps to Reproduce

Open new athena   Start typing   Sidebar crashes and WA stops saving article

Operating System

Windows

Browser

Google Chrome

Does this happen everytime? cause we can't reproduce it on your account

I'm testing and not running into bugs anymore. It was happening constantly over a period of a few days - if I continue to have issues I'll raise concern again, otherwise

Hiya, this issue is popping up once again. Only became an issue as I was trying to edit an excerpt in the new interface.
