Help [Bug] Samsung Galaxy S5 restarts when "Show all content/Hide sensitive content" is selected.

I want to share my problem. This has bugged me for quite a while now. My Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F restarts on its own whenever I select Settings > Sounds and Notifications > Notification > While locked > Show all content or Hide sensitive content. If I select any of those settings and a new text message arrives, after opening the message my phone suddenly restarts.Now when I select "Do not show notifications", it doesn't restart. My phone runs on the latest Android 5.0. I tried doing a factory wipe twice but it doesn't fix the problem.

Just the other day, my friend's Samsung Galaxy S5 (same model as mine SM-G900F) also experienced the same problem. He didn't knew about it because his was set to "Do not show notifications" all the time. When I told him to change it to "Show all content" then I sent him a text message, his phone also restarted and he was his shocked because he thought his phone is going nuts. Then I told him that I experienced it firsthand on my phone and we both concluded that it might be caused by a bug or glitch in the S5's software.

You could try to replicate the same problem on your S5 as well by doing the same settings stated above. I'm not sure if it would work on other S5 models as well but it is not recommended.

If there is anything you can do to help me find a solution for this problem, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
 
Yeah. I'm really hoping that someone here can replicate the same issue with their S5 so I can confirm that it is really not just an isolated issue.
