Root cause for this issue seems to be the "new" cursor. The blue tag which indicates the cursor's position isn't rotated. The same applies for the pop-up window where you can select "cut, paste, etc.". It is still visualized in portrait view. I managed to get a screenshot just before the crash (see attachement).

If you want to change it by putting the marker into the text and mark a word or more, the dialog appear to decide what to do. In landscape mode the messaging app crashes immediately. In portrait mode everything works fine. The same happens when you longpress into the text field so this dialog appears without having any text yet.
