Messages crashing on Macbook Pro with one particular contact.

Clicking on one particular contact crashes Messages on M1 Macbook Pro. Only this one and only when it's a conversation just between me and this one contact. This contact is also part of two other group chats and there's no problem with those conversations. Also, conversations with this particular contact work just fine on iPhone, iPad Pro and Studio. Only crashes on laptop.

Messages shows "1 Conversation Selected" in right pane instead of the actual messages? Occasionally in macOS Ventura when using Messages, when I click on a message thread in the left list, the right pane shows just the text "1 conversation selected" instead of the actual message thread. It's gets stranger. Sometimes it says "3 conversations selected" even though there is ONLY that one selected. The conversation is there .. I can see it on my iPhone, and if I double-click it, I can see the conversation in a separate window. It just refuses to show in the right pane of Messages. And it's only for ONE conversation .. all the others display just fine in the right pane. Closing and re-opening Messages doesnt clear this. However, I have noticed a pattern. Occasionally, Messages "promotes" a conversation to the top of the conversation list (putting it in a little circle at the top of the list). It SEEMS that the "1 Conversation Selected" appears for the DEMOTED conversation .. that is, the one that got booted from the top of the list. Either way this looks like a bug in Messages to me.
