Clicking on RSS button causes a crash

$ otter-browser 
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what():  basic_string::at: __n (which is 112) >= this->size() (which is 112)
Aborted (core dumped)

Entering view-feed:ADRESS (which is not in Otter Feed Reader) causes a crash too.

Using Otter 1.0.03 on Archlinux

On a specific website or all that you come across?

sjehuda commented

Otter always crashes when feed is not already listed in Otter Feed Viewer.

Testing when I'm already subscribed to https://otter-browser.org/feed/ (both cases below)

Button:
All that I come across, unless it's an address which I'm already subscribed to (unless I'm subscribing when the XML is the web-document opened)

Case 1
Visit: https://otter-browser.org/
Clicking on RSS icon on URL bar will open Otter Feed Reader.

Case 2
Visit: https://otter-browser.org/feed/
Clicking on RSS icon on URL bar will crash Otter.
When I'm inside the feed (seeing plain text page) Otter will always crash when clicking on that button.
EDIT: * On some other websites Otter doesn't crashes when subscribing when page is opened on feed page itself.

view-feed:
All that I come across, unless it's an address which I'm already subscribed to.
If I'm not subscribed, then Otter crashes.

Entering view-feed:https://otter-browser.org/feed/ will lead user to Otter Feed Reader.

Yes. I'll setup a time for that this week, I hope.
Apparently, I need to rebuild the package with certain modifications:

I think it's going to be delayed. I'm closing this ticket and I'll open it when I'm readdy.
