Past messages automatically sent to roster users by unaware ChatSecure users #722

Open chseluv opened 8 years ago

chseluv commented 8 years ago

The first message written by ChatSecure owners during past OTR sessions is re-sent to their users several times a day even when they're not typing. It seems that every time a connection is established by the cellphone OTR sessions are refreshed, and regardless of the absence of an ongoing conversation this results in sending past messages automatically to users. Some of my ChatSecure contacts in XMPP send me messages many times during the day but they do not know they do. They're always the same few messages. Sometimes they come from various OTR conversations in their history and are stacked up, like 4 or 5 messages automatically sent many times during the day.

While others have already mentioned something similar here https://github.com/guardianproject/ChatSecureAndroid/issues/699 what I'm experiencing is slightly different in that messages sent are generally the first ones in an OTR session, like greetings and stuff.. Moreover, I receive a past text message every time I refresh the encryption with a ChatSecure user

Can you confirm which version you are using? This was fixed in 14.2.1

I can confirm only now, it is 14.2.0a and it hasn't happened to users who upgraded to 14.2.1
