Presumably there is something (I would guess in
~/.denemo-2.0.0/actions/Default.shortcuts) that is trying to set a
cursor number out of range.
I think it is very bad for programs to call assert() in a way that can
lose the user's data - I didn't realize that these asserts had been
introduced into the code and I'll set about removing them. Of course,
there are circumstances where no sort of recovery is possible, but
clearly this is not one. The assert() is only a help to the developer,
not to the user.

You could send me your Default.shortcuts and/or the value of cursor_num
on entry to the function assign_cursor().
