Yes! Using a different keyboard seems to stop it crashing, for whatever the default keyboard seems to be the issue.
Can you check if this is a keyboard issue? Does it happen if you change to another keyboard?
0.83.8 had several dependency updates. It may be that one of them is breaking on some keyboards :(
Also, I placed the report here: https://github.com/vitorpamplona/amethyst/issues/757

I used anysoft keyboard and it wasn't crashing.
The default keyboard is bad, even worse on some apps with with the strange backspace bahaviour 🤣
I've used G Board its the best but goes against the ethos, Open Board is nice but no longer maintained, now settled on FlorisBoard.
Just have to get comfortable with typos (no predictive text)
I think many of these keyboard issues are related to the autocorrect mode of the default keyboard. I think somebody was able to disable the autocorrect and it also started working.

I would love to have it so that I can share with GrapheneOS folks that are having the same issue. I think most people have never thought about changing the keyboard and just bash Graphene/Amethyst for the instability.
Note the backspace behavior

Yep, that is a well known issue in the default keyboard of Graphene when using with Jetpack Compose apps.
