UIWebview contenteditable crash in UITextSelection caretRect

I have a UIWebview which the user can edit (iOS 6 and above). The webView has userInteractionEnabled YES, and the HTML has contenteditable TRUE, as follows:

- (void)configureView // called from viewDidLoad and setDetailItem:
{
    NSString *htmlString = @""
    "<html>"
    "<body>"
    "<div contenteditable=\"true\">"
    "1: Click on this line (keyboard appears)<p>"
    "<textarea>2: Clicking in this textarea causes crash</textarea><p>"
    "</div>"
    "</body>"
    "</html>";

    [myWebView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:nil];

    myWebView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
}

Clicking in the line of text brings up the keyboard. Then, clicking in the textarea causes a crash somewhere in Apple's code:

-[UITextInteractionAssistant(UITextInteractionAssistant_Internal) oneFingerTap:] + 2204

and this console output (courtesy of NSZombieEnabled):

*** -[UITextSelection caretRect]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x746ae90

What am I doing wrong?

(Other info: I'm loading the UIWebView in a brand new Universal project using storyboard and ARC. The crash happens on the iPhone/iPad Simulator and my iPhone 3GS 6.1.3.)

i was facing same problem of "UIWebview contenteditable crash in UITextSelection caretRect". and i got solution. Solution:-Textarea has bydefault property of contenteditable=true so we don't need to add in please add below code example:- "<div contenteditable=\"true\">" "1: Click on this line (keyboard appears)<p>""</div>" <div> "<textarea>2: Clicking in this textarea causes crash</textarea><p>"</div> It is working for me :-)

Looks like an Apple bug -- I field a bug report and they said it was a duplicate. Here's a workaround: put the straight HTML text(s) and the textarea(s) inside separate div tags.
