Bug: iOS App on iPad crashes when while annotating with Apple Pencil

Report ID : 622800650

App crashes during annotations (reliably every time). Follow these steps to reproduce the crash:

- Enable „scribble“ with Apple Pencil
- open pdf in Zotero App
- add annotation with two words, e.g. „two words“
- long press pencil between „two“ and „words“ to insert a new word with scribble
- Scribble will insert a gray bar where you can enter another word.
- app crashes as soon as the word is finished and parsed

Devices used
/ iPad Pro 6.th Generation
- Apple Pencil A2051

I can produce more crash reports if necessary
  • We've had a number of reports of crashes from Scribble mode. We believe they're iOS bugs, but if you can reproduce this reliably, can you make a short screen recording and send it to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread?
  • I’m also getting this crash. I emailed a video to show what it looks like.

    the crash ONLY happens if I hold down with my pencil for a second or more. It does not happen if I tap, or if I double tap with the pencil, or if I tap-hold with my finger.
  • I sent a crash file to the email address. Zotero is the only app that has this crash. All other apps that I’m using allow inserting a word without a crash
