Despite the fact that bug https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/343124454 is marked as fixed, it's still reproduced after updating from 3.2.1 to 3.3.4. I created a sample project to demonstrate it.

Steps to reproduce:

open the app
quickly scroll down the list
switch tabs while scrolling
if there is no crash, go back and repeat the steps 2-3
