Summit crashing when starting the app/pressing on a post (self.summit)

Hey!

Like always: thank you for working on my favorite app for lemmy. The constant updates and general polish of features are really great!

Now on to the problem:

Since this morning (I guess after an update?) summit refused to start up - when I tried to open the app, it just instantly crashed. I read in another thread that if you delete all data (via the Android options), you could use the app again. So I tried that, signed on my accounts and tuned the setting - just for summit to continue crashing whenever I click on a post.

If there is anything I can do to provide some insight into these crashes (not very technically versed), please instruct me on what to do. :)

Edit: just tried a bit more. Pictures enlarge like normal when clicked on them. Links also open in the internal browser just fine.

It's when I try to open a post into the post/comment view, that summit crashes. Hope this helps narrow it down!

I just released a fix for another crash. This might be the same one. Can you try the latest update and see if it's fixed?

Works like a charm again!

Thank you for your hard work on this app, I really appreciate it! :D

Can confirm I'm having this issue too. Clearing the data/cache fixes it, but restoring settings caused it to happen again. I've tried whittling down my settings to determine which one specifically is causing it, but no luck. Can't seem to recreate it consistently

I fixed a crash related to settings just now. This fix addresses a bug that has to do with post gesture size, comment gesture size and auto collapse comment threshold. If you changed one of those settings then this release should fix that.

I think I'm having the same issue. I can delete all app data to resolve it, but when I log in and start changing settings it will crash either when opening a post or just opening the app.

I can specifically recreate it by deleting all data, opening Summit, logging in, going into settings and setting the post gesture size to 0.75, then trying to click on a post.

Damn, sounds rough. I mean, nothing against the basic layout, but I really like the options summit provides for customizing your user experience.

I hope this doesn't take too much effort for the dev to fix!
