Description

Keybase chat is dropping messages. If I send off a lot of messages in rapid succession, sometimes one of the later messages will replace one of the earlier ones.

Keybase Version: 4.4.1-20190909184517+b5f8897c2a 
OSX Version: 10.14.6

Research direction

Reproduce rapid consecutive sends using Keybase 4.4.1 on macOS 10.14.6, then trace the message-send and delivery path to identify where an earlier message is replaced. Done means messages sent in rapid succession are all delivered distinctly, with a regression test covering the reported sequence.
