[Describe what you were doing when the crash occurred.]

highlighting text containing this symbol (ϕ) is causing Zotero iOS to crash. Doesn't happen when underlining.

    Hey @Tomero, does this happens every time you try to highlight this text, or was this an one time occurence? Can you please mail the file with this issue to support@zotero.org and mention this thread?

    @mvasilak, it happened multiple times as I checked when it would crash depending on which text I tried highlighting. I narrowed it down to a few characters including that specific symbol. I can try again and see if I can highlight just that character and see if it does it. But I definitely had it crash about 10-15 times as I was trying to figure it out.

    @Tomero if it happened that many times, it seems to be an issue with this specific file, please do mail it to support@zotero.org and mention this thread.

    The issue happens because the text used in the PDF is a bit malformed and currently the iOS/iPadOS Zotero app is too strict, and it crashes when this malformed text is used. We have a fix though, which will be included in the next update.
