Description

Ever since Android 13, when someone is typing it the same channel you have currently opened, the app has a good chance of crashing. It will hang and it must be killed to be restarted. This happens very often, maybe every 10 seconds. Multiple users reporting this in the app reviews on the play store. Looking at the issues here, I couldn't identify a related issue. Anyone has an idea about what might be causing this?

Using a stock pixel 5, SwiftKey keyboard

Thanks

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the hang on Android 13 with a Pixel 5 and SwiftKey while another user types in the open channel. Done means identifying the cause and verifying that the app no longer hangs or needs to be killed.
