Crash while scrolling

[nanangp]

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.

Thanks for the report and the logcat! Looks like the crash is caused by the OS, specifically libart-compiler.so, so unfortunately it's likely there's nothing I can do.

Alpha 291 was https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader/commit/4db4b6b74cc02211ad564f63f71344d39ecb08c1, and 292 was https://github.com/QuantumBadger/RedReader/commit/8605000278b461bf7adb4ce6aa3b15ad41a5874b. Unfortunately there are lots of commits between those, but if you have time you could do a git bisect to identify the specific one.
