Nothing, or maybe an auto save.

Android logs

The crash is intermittent. Now that I have logcat running on my laptop, I can't seem to get it to happen again. I'll update this if I can get Android logs.

Server error logs

I'm using the Linux server.io docker image and it doesn't appear to have logs (?) There's a Logging page in the admin settings, but it's completely empty. And I poked around in the filesystem, but didn't find anything in /var/log. Are they somewhere else for docker?

Additional information

I'm filling this out on my phone, but I'll come back and edit it with more logs from my laptop if I can find them.

I did a search for this error and found several other issues, but they all seemed to be related large file moves, whereas I'm editing a 51kb text file. So I thought it merotrd a new issue.

Also, the "About & What's new" menu option in web seems broken. I get a spinner for a second, then the page refreshes. Fortunately "Administration settings" works and shows the server version.
