_lv_event_mark_deleted call leads to crash (ESP32)

Description

First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the great people working on LVGL. I have been using the library for some time now and it is amazing!

Now, I would like to ask for your help with an issue.

I have been experiencing somewhat random and infrequent crashes in my app when calling lv_obj_clean(lv_scr_act()). The crash happens when calling _lv_event_mark_deleted (event_head seems to be dangling). My understanding is that this problem can occur when incorrectly calling lv_ functions in a multithreaded environment. However, all my LVGL logic is located in one FreeRTOS task. Well… most of it. I noticed a call to lv_disp_trig_activity(NULL) outside my LVGL logic task. Could that be the source of the problem? Could it be a completely different reason? I apologize for providing so little code to reproduce the bug. The code works fine 99% of the time but sometimes crashes at different places but always when trying to clean the default screen with lv_obj_clean(lv_scr_act()). I included an example of a backtrace below (see Screenshot and/or video). By analyzing the trace, I can see that the ESP32 hangs when trying to access a variable at a improper location (excvaddr: 0x5844). Could the issue be ESP32 specific?

Thank you for your help!!

Related issues:

What MCU/Processor/Board and compiler are you using?

ESP32 (ESP-IDF v5.0.2)

What LVGL version are you using?

v8.3.7

What do you want to achieve?

Clean default screen.

What have you tried so far?

Locate LVGL function calls outside main LVGL logic task. Analyze coredump.

Code to reproduce

lv_group_remove_all_objs(lv_group_get_default());
lv_group_set_editing(lv_group_get_default(), false);
lv_obj_clean(lv_scr_act()); //< cause of crash

Hi, you said:
" Well… most of it. I noticed a call to lv_disp_trig_activity(NULL) outside my LVGL logic task. Could that be the source of the problem?"
and i have experienced the same issue calling a lvgl function from a freertos timer. Removig this called solved the problem.
