This is caused by: https://github.com/otrv4/libotr-ng/blob/master/src/otrng.c#L255

We decided not to be able to send query msg on encrypted state, and therefore there is no way to refresh a conversation. We might need to remove the button from the toolbar for v4.

We need from this is to remove the 'refresh private conversation' from the menu.

Another possibility we discussed offline is to end the current private conversation and start a new dake.

We have decided that the spec should not allow for refreshing conversations - you can't send Query or Identity or Non-Interactive Identity message while you're in the encrypted state. This simplifies the state machine.

However, the UI can still allow refresh by simply shutting down the session and creating a new.

So, in other words, this issue is now about making the refresh functionality work under these circumstances instead.
