Description

I upgraded to Version 1.0.18-20170223162556+af0e640 at the request of the app. After it restarted, I noticed that the chat I had open was missing. All prior messages were gone. I tried to send another message to the other party to tell them that my conversation log had disappeared and the messages that I sent after the update don't appear in the window either.

I exited the application completely from the taskbar (this is on a mac) and restarted and now the history appears.
