Photos crashes when scrolling

I have tested this photo library on another clean mac with Mojave.

I have repaired this library several times.

It crashes as I begin to scroll. I'm fairly sure it is corrupt assets after a bad import.

If I wait 3-5 minutes without touching the app, it will crash then too...

The library is on a DROBO, but I have copied it to another drive and it crashes on that too as well as another machine with clean account.

Does Photos also crash on a new library? If you create a new library on your system drive as described here:

Create additional photo libraries in Photos on Mac - Apple Support?

If Photos does work on a new library, your current library may be damaged. Is your Drobo drive a NAS? Keeping a library on a network volume may damage it - you can only keep photo libraries on locally mounted drives as described here:

Move your Photos library to save space on your Mac - Apple Support

To get your old library to work, try to repair it (https://support.apple.com/guide/photos/repair-the-library-pht6be18f93/mac) or restore it from a backup: (https://support.apple.com/guide/photos/restore-from-time-machine-pht6d60348f/4.0/mac/10.14)
