Description

Version: 1.18 onwards / Alpha 292 onwards

Steps to reproduce:

  • Go to a sub
  • Scrolling posts work fine
  • Go to comments of any post
  • Start scrolling down
  • Crashes.
    • Not at a particular comment. Timing and location seems random, but it always crashes while scrolling (not when left idle).
  • RR automatically returns to post list on the last sub
  • Go to any comments list
  • Scroll
  • Crashes again.

I could only find one other instance of someone reporting a similar issue, and they (coincidentally?) also happen to be running crDroid.
After tracing it back a bit, it looks like the last version that worked without crashing for me was Alpha 291.

I captured the logcat after 2 consecutive crashes on A292, showing segfaults, which may or may not be helpful. Do you have a particular list of commits between A291 and 292?

Thanks.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash while scrolling comment lists on Alpha 292 and reviewing the linked logcat for the reported segfaults. Compare commits between Alpha 291 and Alpha 292, then verify that scrolling comments and returning to comment lists no longer crashes.
