Post containing only U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN crashes tusky

[chr-1x]

after making this post i received a few reports that people trying to scroll past it were getting tusky crashes. i don't have details but the reports are visible in my replies: https://cybre.space/@chr/99821978136424081

---

• Tusky Version: unknown, probably most recent as of this issue filing

• Android Version: unknown

• Android Device: unknown

• Mastodon instance (if applicable): cybre.space

• I searched or browsed the repo’s other issues to ensure this is not a duplicate.

I left one of those reports.

It happens in Tusky 1.5.2 on Android 6.0.1 on my FairPhone 2

[Zatnosk]

And to answer a question in the mastodon thread, I installed from Play Store.

[Zatnosk]

No, wait, I thought I did, but F-Droid has it in it's list of installed apps on my phone. Sorry for multiposting :P

[remi6397]

@Zatnosk F-droid lists also programs installed from other sources. If Play has Tusky listed on My Apps, it is probably downloaded from Play.

[ciphercharly]

can confirm the issue, happening for me with Tusky 1.5.2 installed from F-droid on device running Android 6.0.1

[connyduck]

I cannot reproduce this issue on any of my 3 devices and I cant find a related stacktrace in the Google Play console unfortunately. Can somebody help me out, I would really like to fix this.

[ciphercharly]

@connyduck no issues at all with the f-droid version on all 3?

[connyduck]

@connyduck no issues at all with the f-droid version on all 3?

yes I just tested it

[ciphercharly]

weird... what extra info could I provide to help you?

[connyduck]

I would need a stacktrace. Do you know how to read the log of your device?

[ciphercharly]

never done for an app, I can try if guided. the device on which I am running Android is not rooted though.

[ciphercharly]

@connyduck done 'official' reporting after crashing, log should be attached (hated going through Google though), hope it helps, do you have access to such reports?

[connyduck]

Oh yes thank you now I see the crash log :)
Its the same problem as reported for SubwayTooter tateisu/SubwayTooter#69

[ciphercharly]

👍
out of curiosity, how does the log look like? could you paste a bit here?

[connyduck]

It seems to be a bug in the Android framework and not in Tusky

[ciphercharly]

yeah, and I do not get all the technical details but for what I understand one can only get a workaround..
it's not that serious luckily though

[charlag]

I think we can replace this character to mitigate the issue?

[ashkitten]

What Android versions are affected, and can we gate this workaround to only apply to those versions?

[charlag]

From what I can find it's Android 6
https://trello.com/c/hyks0exG/268-soft-hyphen-alt-0173-crashes-all-android-60-devices

We can apply it only for them. Would you like to try that?
