Whenever your using Braille screen input it will crash when you go to the new line or if you are trying to delete a word.

Steps to reproduce

To reproduce this bug use the rotor until you get to Braille screeninput.
Then type anything then if you try to delete a word by swiping 2 fingers to the left or swiping 2 fingers to the right Braille screen input will randomly crash and it will say stopping Braille screen input.
I am experienceing this on my Iphone 11.

Workaround

There is no workaround for this.
I suppose every time Braille Screen input crashes you could use the rotor and get back to Braille Screen Input.

I also have experienced this on my iPad mini 5. It seems to happen only if I use BSI for a certain amount of time then it wont let me go to the next line and it stops it. then I have to use the roter to get back in to it.

I have experienced this bug quite often on my iPhone SE 2020, but not every time I erase a word. However, when Braille Screen Input suddenly stops, I simply turn the rotor back to it and carry on.

I think the problem might have to do with the fact that it's now possible to use the two-finger scrub to exit BSI. Seems to me that iOS is misinterpreting a two-finger swipe left (delete a word) or right (go to a new line) as a scrub gesture.

Nothing for me, iphone se3 and ipad mini5.

I had this problem constantly because of the two finger scrub gesture. I changed my BSI inputs so that I need to use three fingers to erase a word or a single finger flick down for new line and I rarely have this issue now. I despise the two finger scrub gesture with BSI and am deeply frustrated there's no option to just disable it.
