I used to be able to reproduce this consistently on kernels before the 5.4.x series by pressing numpad 5, and then numpad 4 on an empty line. I just tried using numpad 1 and numpad 3 to position over a space, and then pressing numpad 5, on 5.4.21. I also tried numpad 5, 4, and numpad 6 followed by numpad 5 on a blank line. I was able to crash my system once. After rebooting, I kept playing with numpad 5 while on a space or blank line for the last five minutes with no crashes. Is there a more consistent way to produce a crash? I can apply the patch and test, but unless I can consistently make the system crash, I don't know for sure if the patch fixes this or not. I've been able to repeatedly jump from a GUI console to a text console and use speakup navigation right away on my ryzen system since the 5.4.x kernel series also with no crashes so far without the patch.
