Does this account for the random bug where my keyboard didn't populate in any app that persisted through a restart until I went in and force stopped it and cleared its cache? Asking for a friend.

I get this bug on my realme phone once a while. But, instead of a restart. I force stop the keyboard app to fix the issue.

I've never had this happen on a pixel before. I've owned all the pixel phones of some variant except the 4 and the 6. I haven't bought a pixel pro 10 yet but my husband has one.

It's only happened to me a couple of times since the last update but a couple of times is too many.

The box was there. Where the keyboard is supposed to be. But the keyboard was not there. I couldn't get the box where they keyboard should be to go away with gesture controls, and I couldn't get the keyboard to actually display. I restarted and it was still happening in every app (including Google's apps). It persisted when I restarted in safe mode so I went in and force stopped the Gboard app and then cleared storage and cache. That did the trick and the fix persisted when I restarted into regular android again.

Oh, I have another bug on my s24+. The suggestion strip/autocorrect will frequently crash and mess up the words or the emoji keyboard would crash
