iMessage app crashes on macOS Sequoia after sending moving stickers

I've sent a message with a moving sticker from my iPhone and now the same message thread freezes the messages app on Mac OS. Can anyone confirm if this is an isolated issue?

I just had the same thing happen from my pad. I deleted the sticker on the phone and pad and send text to the same person from the pad. When I restarted the desktop messages, it worked sans sticker. I then sent a different sticker (on the same conversation) to see if it happens again and it came out good.


I'm not sure what happened, but I'm not likely to try anything that might cause it to happen again. It's not like there's a good way to back up my conversations in case an Apple bug corrupts something.
