Describe the Bug

ButWarden interfere with other app (@Voice Aloud Reader). When Accessibility is granted to BitWarden, it causes crashing the @Voice Aloud Reader application under certain circumstances.
When the screen of @Voice Aloud Reader contains many short lines of text, it crashes when BitWarden is allowed to use accessibility API. When I disable BitWarden accessibility API access, the @Voice application stops crashing.

Steps To Reproduce

Unfortanutelly I can't share the file that causes crashes in other app due to BitWarden interference as it is copyrighted material. But the reproduction is as follows:

  1. install BitWarden
  2. install @Voice Aloud Read
  3. open epub book with a part containing many short paragraphs
  4. let the @Voice read aloud text using TTS
  5. see the app crashing

Expected Result

No interference which causes crash or a setting in BitWarden to blacklist certain apps from accessibility.

Actual Result

Crashes of other app due to interference.

Screenshots or Videos

Environment

  • Device: Doogee BL7000
  • Operating system: Android 7
  • Build Version (go to "Settings" → "About" in the app): 2.3.1 (2257)
  • Is this a Beta release? N

I'm unable to reproduce this using @Voice Aloud Reader (free) version 19.5.5 with an epub containing lots of short paragraphs (technical documentation so it's full of one-liners). I've not customized any settings in the Reader app - is there maybe something else I should adjust?

After further testing I discovered it is not bitwarden issue only. Tasker and other applications using accessibility setting is causing the interference. I suppose it is not bitwarde issue but the specifiv OS version or the Voice app.
Thank you for you effort. I'm closing the issue.
