Reproduced in Safari on macOS Monterey. "And. And. And. And." caused no problems. "And. And. And. And. And. And." also crashes (5 "And."s is a substring, so makes sense). I cannot imagine how this bug is occurring.

My wild-ass guess is a grammar check bug. Since it words on both “and” and “but,” I’m thinking it’s some check related to conjunctions.
