Description

Keybase GUI Version: 2.6.0-20180911163448+cbaeeb8001

I walked away from my Mac. The screen locked. On return, I unlocked the screen, and Keybase for my company's group chat (which I admin) has a "Failed to send: max attempts reached" message, and I can't see any subsequent messages. Logging out and back in briefly pops up a message about my admin role point not being found (see screenshots below). Keybase on my phone contines to see and keep up with the group chat.

I am able to continue chats with individuals (who happen also to be in the group).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure after locking and unlocking the Mac, using log id e7d8d24dc91add00ab78901c and the attached screenshots as context. Investigate why the admin group chat stops sending and receiving while individual chats continue; done means group messages work again after screen unlock and reauthentication.
