In the Editions version of Minecraft for the PS4, which is supposed to be no longer updated, there was an update around a year ago that made it to where if you try to open a book and quill it immediately crashes your game, I have submitted 2 help requests to try to fix it and have uninstalled and reinstalled my game to no avail.

hello, I'm the one with the duplicated issue MCPE-166989, I play on the current one(2.62), I just tested it and it still crashes the game, this has been for long, very long actually, we got lots of new updates without this being addressed. At this point, I find it very unlikely that they will end up correcting it.
Still waiting for this to be fixed. The issue still exits. Any time you open a book and quill, signed nor not signed. It immediately Crashes the game. This is on PS4 editions.
Chiming in here to say I'm a big fan of the editions version and sad that it's still broken and I'm very anxious for a fix. I used the book and quill item quite a bit when I used to play regularly on PS4 circa 2015/2016 and now that I've come back to play in 2023 it entirely breaks the way I like playing the game.
Some pertinent info: I'm playing on PS5 via back-compat, and on some of the worlds I still have from many updates ago I am able to read the signed books I wrote without crashes in the latest update. But as soon as I attempt to open an unsigned/fresh Book and Quill item in any world, new or old, the game crashes with error code CE-108255-1
Please fix this! I'm quite upset that the game I had loved for years no longer functions correctly. I sincerely hope a small patch to address this can be pushed.
This bug still happens as of the latest version at this time. I know this is legacy but I'm hoping since Minecraft PS4 edition and Bedrock are the same app, y'all can take some time to go over bugs like this reported by the community and include some fixes in a patch. So far it seems like the issues introduced in the last patches for PS4 edition are not at all a priority for the team.
Devs should have fixed this already, I know the game is no longer updated, but this bug was caused indirectly with an update of the new minecraft, even if this version is no longer updated, it is their responsibility to fix this, because they are the ones who made a mistake, they touched something that worked fine after they left the game. They may not add new things, or fix new bugs, but they should fix the things that were working perfectly fine when they stopped supporting the game, if they broke something afterwards, they should fix it, if not, they are just being irresponsible.
Is this still an issue for anyone else?

This glitch still persists in newer versions, and reinstalling the game does not work.
It only occurs in Minecraft: PS4 Edition (aka before Bedrock came in).
