We think that this bug might be related to #vip-vsb

@thienlnam @robertKozik @tomekzaw This might be related to live markdown.

[tomekzaw]

Thanks for reporting this. The app crashes due to java.lang.NullPointerException: mMarkdownStyle is null which has already been fixed in #35852. I will investigate that, please assign me.

[youssef-lr]

Thanks @tomekzaw!

[shubham1206agra]

@tomekzaw Use commit 6ccd3b899dead523897704b70336248a067fc17c or #36197 to fix this.

[tomekzaw]

Yeah I think we'll need to revert web support for now

[marcaaron]

I believe the blocker can be removed from this one as the revert is on staging now.

[youssef-lr]

I think we can close this.
