Description
As described in #14625 (closed by the reporter) opening a new conversation with someone you've previously hidden will cause the conversation window to close after a variable amount of time. Sending the message is impossible even if you manage to hit enter before the window closes.
Unhiding the conversation first works, but that is a hassle when you're not sure you've got one tucked away.
Ideally, I would like the option to close/forget a conversation, which would remove it entirely and the next conversation to start from scratch.
If that's not possible, can you automatically unhide any pre-existing conversation when I initiate a "new" one?
Apparently I can't tag any @keybase/react-hackers :|

Research direction
Start by reproducing the GUI behavior described here: initiate a new conversation with someone whose conversation is hidden and verify that the window closes before a message can be sent. Use #14625 for background, then compare the behavior with an unhidden conversation; done means a new conversation can be opened and a message sent without the window closing unexpectedly.
