When I quickly reopen my previous fragment getBinding return null (NullPointerException)

I have an issue with getBinding. My BaseFragment implementation here:

private var _binding: T? = null
protected val binding get() = _binding!!


override fun onCreateView(
        inflater: LayoutInflater,
        container: ViewGroup?,
        savedInstanceState: Bundle?
    ): View? {
        _binding = inflate(inflater, container, false)
        return binding.root
    }

override fun onDestroyView() {
        super.onDestroyView()
        _binding = null
    }

The problem, when I realize this scenario:
Fragment 1 -> Fragment 2 -> quickly back to Fragment 1 -> then NullPointerException appears

If I remove _binding = null in onDestroyView it will be okay, but it opens the possibility of a memory leak.

So my question is why does this exception appear? My binding should initialized every time in onCreateView

UPDT:

Here is full logs with an error:
