Inflate exception on EditText Longclick

Question

This is a very strange bug that happens on a Galaxy Grand Prime on Android 5.0.1.

If I long-click any TextInputEditText or EditText, the app crashes with the following log:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
                                                                          Process: com.x.x, PID: 22222

This occurs in various activities and across multiple apps. So far, I'm at a loss as to what to make of this. I initially thought replacing TextInputEditText with plain old EditText would fix the issue but it didn't.

The relevant XML:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
            android:id="@+id/address"
            android:layout_width="200dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="@string/address"
            android:inputType="textPostalAddress"/>

Can you post your style , which you applied for TextInputLayout in xml — Vishal Vaishnav, Jul 26 '17 at 11:34
it looks like a bug? may be an error when OS try to inflate the menu that will appear on long click? mostly the one has **copy/paste/select all** options, what brought my attention is this `Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=15; index=386` is 15 the number of chars in the text box at the long click time? or it's something related about the layout of that menu ? — Yazan, Jul 26 '17 at 11:42
@Yazan The error remains the same regardless of the input. Even on an empty field, it says length=15, index=386. — Asim, Jul 26 '17 at 11:53
Interestingly, I am getting this error in one out of my two applications running on the same device. The difference between the two is the one where its working i have created a custom class since i wanted to modify the font. This happens to me on Android version 5.x only. Does not replicated on 6.x and 7.x currently. — Jayshil Dave, Aug 06 '17 at 15:28
@Asim This worked for me. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38103265/runtimeexception-when-clicking-on-edittext The answer where we need to remove the font family — Jayshil Dave, Aug 06 '17 at 16:11
