migrated address lose verified status and key #5535
Comments
Looks like this is quite expected, after the peer wrote to you in private an AEAP occured (i assume that the message was encrypted because we only do AEAP for encrypted messages now), so the peerstate was moved (not copied) to the new address and the old address has no peerstate anymore. This is apparently a result of b6db015. In general moving (not copying) a peerstate looks correct, but the described wrong behaviour for non-verified groups must be fixed somehow. Btw, asking just in case, does the new contact have the verified checkmark? |
more useful to know is if the group is encrypted because your contact moved to a chatmail account which only allows encrypted outgoing messages -- so if the group is not encrypted then there will be unavoidable message sending problems -- i guess this is not the issue in your situation, though?
It's a kind of known loose end of AEAP: your contact should have just written to the group, not to you in private and then everyone's device in the group would have followed the move. Before you scream -- i am aware that this is not optimal. I am just saying how "to hold it right" :) |
yes it is a pretty bad behavior for no verified groups, account is not migrated automatically there so the problem is unavoidable that people need to delete manually and will be unable due to missing encryption |
the group used to be encrypted, before I lost the key of that peer due to the migration bug/behavior, I am also using chatmail as most members of the group, so the group can ONLY be encrypted, the unencrypted status came from the migration because the old address is still in the group (even for me even if the contact wrote in private, as said there was no automatic migration in the group it is a normal group, non-verified group) so I have to remove manually but I can't |
see my previous message,and also in the initial post, it is a normal group so the migration can't happen by she writing in the group, that would report only "unknown sender for this chat" it is a normal group |
