Description

Upon opening a conversation in the Keybase app, I found that there was an overlay over the chat view, waiting for a file to be dropped onto it (see attached screenshot).
Was still able to use the text input, but the overlay prevented me from clicking anywhere else. Restart solved it, but I don't remember dragging anything into Keybase to begin with. Turns out my chat partner at the time has also noticed the described behaviour before, so I thought I'd let you know.

Best,
Flo

Research direction

Start by reproducing the stuck “Drop file here” overlay in the Keybase GUI on macOS, using the reported version 3.0.0-20190205183613+6394d03e6c and the attached screenshot as references. Trace what enters the file-drop state when opening a conversation and verify that normal chat controls remain clickable without requiring a restart.
