Description

Keybase GUI Version: 5.5.0-20200526170801+139bb348af

I changed icons for all my channels and my own avatar on one Mac but it doesn't change on my MacBook Pro. However, I does on all other devices. It seems the cache is incoherent and there's no obvious way to force a synchronization.

(OT: I love Keybase, but the chat window is bloated and I wish it could be made to hide all but the actual chats)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the icon and avatar mismatch between two Macs using Keybase GUI version 5.5.0-20200526170801+139bb348af, then trace how desktop clients synchronize and cache these changes. Done means changes made on one Mac appear on the MacBook Pro without requiring an undocumented manual synchronization step.
