Crash - Note.getScrollY() on a null object reference

[cheywood]

This issue respects the following points:

• [X] I have read the FAQ
• [X] I have searched for existing issues
• [X] The issue affects the Notes Android app, neither the Notes server app nor the Nextcloud Android app.

Describe the bug

I don't have clear steps but I believe this occurred switching back to one of the app's windows. Only seen with 4.2.0. I thought the stack trace might be useful anyway.

My gut feeling is maybe it was switching back to the window which had a note open, but the window had dropped out of memory? It's a guess, based a little also on the stack trace.

In which case it would be:

1. Open Notes
2. Open a note, that for some reason now creates its own window
3. Do a whole bunch of other things, pushing the app out of memory
4. Switch back to that single note window
5. Maybe??

If I see it recurring I'll update the steps. If not useful the issue can be deleted.

I've encountered this error message upon touching a "single note widget" on my home screen, right after I'd deleted the note the widget refers to.

It might not be caused by exactly the same reason as why @cheywood experienced this problem, however.

I get this error every time I open the app. I faced this issue on Android 11 and now on Android 14. App version? Can't say. I have been facing this error for months and also on latest version.
