Regular crash on Samsung Galaxy S3 - Android 4.1.2 #59

Open hansfn opened 11 years ago

When typing (on the default virtual keyboard) the app suddenly hangs and then crashes. It restarts nicely, but I have to reopen my public keys - annoying. (I'm using screen on the server I log into so I can continue working from the same.)

The same bug reported against the mother project - http://code.google.com/p/connectbot/issues/detail?id=618

As I still have only an Android 4.0.x device, I cannot debug and resolve this problem

Thx for replying.

I'm not in the position to buy you a device which runs Android 4.1, but I'm more than willing to provide you with debug information. I'm a programmer, but unfamiliar with Android development. Just tell how I collect debugging information, and I'll send it to you - if that helps.

I think this might be the bug in question:

I've had this issue for a long time with connectbot and stock samsung roms. Easily reproducible with a colorful irc terminal with lots of activity.

I have a dev environment ready, but I'm not sure I'm skilled enough to come up with a workaround...

Experimenting with a workaround, patch here: https://gist.github.com/desaster/6812612

Looking good so far.
