Application crash after contact’s safety number changed [resolved itself]

[timothymctim]

Description

A contact in my contact list got a new “safety number” and sent me a message.
The moment I replied, the application crashed. I restarted the application and everything seemed okay. However, when trying to open any chat, the application would crash again. In the mean time I could receive new messages, I got new push notifications, and I could also see the messages in the chat overview. Only selecting any chat made the application crash.

After some time (< 30 minutes), while I was trying to debug, the application didn’t crash anymore, and haven’t ever since. Meanwhile, I was using Signal Desktop to communicate to others.

When the application didn’t crash anymore, the message that I initially tried to send to my contact with the changed safety number, “magically” disappeared.

Versions

Signal for Ubuntu version 0.3.261

Debug Log

Sadly, the debug log does not seem to contain any relevant log entries.

Interesting bug, I try to reproduce it. In Options you can turn on the debug log then maybe we have more informative notes.

Good to know for next time! Thanks.
However, if I go to Settings > Advanced and then select Activate Debuglog the box got checked. But, if I then click on “<” to go back and select Advanced again (to confirm that the option is selected), the Activate Debuglog option is again unselected. I haven’t verified if this is just a bug in the GUI or whether the option isn’t actually enabled.

Can anybody confirm or deny that this behavior (Application crash after contact’s safety number changed) still exists?
