Description

If I try start to follow a user, then decide to chat with them, I can find them in the gui, but it goes back to the empty chat gui when I click on "start a chat". The only way I can start a chat with them at this point, is to completely shutdown keybase, and re-run run_keybase.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the follow-then-start-a-chat flow in the GUI and compare it with the empty chat state described in the report. Use the supplied log ID, bd334dcbb37c2fb6670e9d1c, when inspecting diagnostics. Done means a followed user can be opened for chat without restarting Keybase or rerunning run_keybase.
