Description
I mentioned this issue in a previous email, just wanted to give it a little more background.
When testing on mobile devices, and you click the inline 'Edit' button that brings up a CKEditor input, the following error appears:
Cannot read property 'setData' of null
The input becomes a plain HTML input, not a CKEditor input. Then when the Editor lightbox is closed, this error appears:
Cannot read property 'destroy' of null
Another instance of when this error occurs is on a desktop, and if a cell uses both Bubble editing and the CKEditor plugin, and I click that cell three or more times quickly in succession, these errors appear.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the mobile inline Edit flow and the rapid repeated clicks on a cell using Bubble editing with the CKEditor plugin. Trace the editor lifecycle around the reported setData and destroy errors; done means the CKEditor input appears and closes without either null-property error.
