Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.21-20170413113755+766e240

Keybase says I have a chat message waiting for me from one of my contacts, however the app is stuck at the "securing..." screen that is present when I select a contact. It does not load any message history for any contacts/conversations.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the hang described in the Keybase GUI at version 1.0.21-20170413113755+766e240, including opening a contact and waiting at the "securing..." screen. The issue names no source files or tests, so trace the chat message-history loading path from that screen. Done means conversations load their message history instead of remaining stuck.
