Mosquitto is not publishing all received message (since Mosquitto 2.0.16)

[D-r-P-3-p-p-3-r]

I am experiencing a loss of MQTT messages in the broker (with Mosquitto 2.0.18). What I noticed at first is that clients that had subscribed to a certain topic (QoS 0 or QoS 2) did not receive all messages that were published (QoS 2, not retained) from another client to that topic. After creating network traces I could see that all messages arrived at the broker but some of them were not published. It seems to happen when another publish is received before a previous one was released/completed. I did not experience the problem with Mosquitto 2.0.12.

Setup to reproduce

• Client 1 subscribes #
• Client 2 publishes 3 messages in quick sequence
• Client 1 sometimes only receives 1 or 2 messages instead of 2

I added two screenshots from network traces that illustrate the problem:

• topic3 is not published
• topic2 is not published

Edit: The error was introduced in 2.0.16. In 2.0.15 everything still worked fine.

Could you try to configure the buffer?

We're using max_queued_messages 200 atm. In the test scenario exactly 3 messages are sent. Thus, 200 should be enough, no?

I am using Mosquitto 2.0.18 and have also encountered this issue. I have enabled all logging modes. I send out commands, but there are no logs indicating forwarding; sometimes, forwarding does occur.
