[hypest]

I've updated the ticket description to add the underlining error/exception.

[koke]

@hypest this looks suspiciously like #1001, do you think it's the same thing? Should we close and see if we still get crashes?

[hypest]

Possibly related to #1131. We'll let that one get tackled first and see.

[maxme]

Just checked sentry, this one generates ~440 events / day.

[hypest]

Also possibly related to wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android#9832.

Will close since that got addressed and we can reopen if the issue persists beyond v1.17 of the editor.
