TL_BadMsgNotification crashes Telegram

[Michał Karnicki]

mardy reported a log file indicating Telegram could crash when processing TL_BadMsgNotification. karni has the log file.

Moving .config directory works around the problem reason.

See comment #3 for details.

[Alberto Mardegan (mardy)]

Some updates: first, moving the .config directory fixes the problem only until the next instance of telegram starts: that it, if you remove the .config directory you can start telegram, but once you've closed it won't start again.

Then, I now tried to move both the .config and the .cache directories, and got a slightly different behaviour: now crashes seem more random, but still happen in the first few tens of seconds when the program starts up. I'm attaching the new logs.

More logs. So, it seems I can reliably crash it by sending the app to the background and then bringing it to the foreground again. These logs might be more useful, as there's an assertion with a file name and line number.

Lowering priority since it doesn't crash since last OTA, neverneless needs fixing.

First app start : everything is normal, functions as expected.
--Shut down app

Second start: (with wifi) the app shows a black screen with loading icon and Telegram header title. Crashes within approx 10sec of launch // (without wifi) Same behaviour

After reinstall (without fiddling w/ config files) : the app shows a black screen with loading icon and Telegram header title. Crashes within approx 10sec of launch.

After reinstall and removing /.config/com.ubuntu.telegram completely : app starts, shows expected behaviour. Haven't tested sending messages. App seems to work. Wifi was enabled and could connect to account/add number

After restarting app: App shows a loading screen for approx 5sec , then shows the message inbox screen with annotation "no chats". This screen is displayed for about 5secs before the app crashes. Relaunch of the app shows same behaviour.

After turning wifi off/on and 3G data off/on, the app shows the blank screen + loading icon + crash behaviour again.

Hi Ed,

Thank you for the report. Would you be willing to attach more verbose logs? You would need to run the following command in either adb shell or Terminal application:

touch /home/phablet/.config/com.ubuntu.telegram/.debug

Then reproduce the crash and send the log my way. Thank you in advance!
