Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.16-20160714110022+dc4f1af
OSX El Capitan

apologies if this is a dupe -- I searched around but couldn't find anything. Periodically my Keybase GUI just springs open for no apparent reason. I'll be in an unrelated program and then all of a sudden, there's the Keybase GUI (which has also resized to an odd window size that is vertically larger than my screen, and sometime has logged me out, but sometimes not).

Is this perhaps happening because the app auto-updated?

Research direction

The report concerns the Keybase GUI on OS X, including unexpected launches, window resizing, logout state, and possible auto-updates. Start by reproducing it with the reported GUI version and tracing GUI startup and update behavior. Done means the GUI no longer opens unexpectedly and its window size and session state remain stable.
