Description

### Expected

When I open a note in Simplenote and start scolling in it to edit, I expect it not to spontaneously close.

### Observed

Often quite soon after opening the app for the first time (i.e. when it has not been open in the background since earlier), when navigating to an already existing note and starting to edit it, after some seconds these may notes spontaneously close. Then, a blue splash screen is is displayed for a short instance and then I see the standard startup view (list overview of all available notes). Thos behaviour happens more rarely when the app has been open for some time with a nunber of notes opened before.

### Reproduced

See above under "Observed".

Make: Samsung
Model: Galaxy A52s 5G
Android Version: 14
Simplenote version: 2.35

Research direction

Start by reproducing the spontaneous note closure on the reported Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G, Android 14, and Simplenote 2.35 setup, following the described path of opening an existing note, scrolling, and editing. No source file, entry point, or test is named, so the first investigation must trace note navigation and the return to the startup note list. Done means editing no longer closes the note or restarts the app under the reported conditions.
