+	// have no idea why this is, but it happens when you do a select on a UITableView right before
+	// doing a diffable datasource apply.
+	//
+	// Steps to recreate:
+	//
+	// * Try to relaunch the app in the sim.
+	// * Press the Stop button in Xcode
+	// * Wait for all the app suspension activities to complete (widget data, etc)
+	// * Once the article has loaded, navigate to the iPad home screen
+	// * While in landscape, select a feed and then select an article
+	// * Install a fresh build of NNW to an iPad simulator (11 or 12.9' will do) running iPadOS 15
