Hello,

We have noticed a crash in our instrumentation and manual testing with Android O that seems to stem from the system / support libs.

Steps to reproduce:
(Note: not yet fully clear what causes the issue)
 
Create a view with text-watchers/addTextChangedListener and OnEditorActionListener, while gaining focus/loosing it app crashes. It is not 100% reproducible.
I've found this bug but it is marked as fixed, sadly I think there is a regression that has snuck in there somewhere.
