Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.22-20170502110012+a3c4856

I typed a message in chat. It didn't go through immediately and remained greyed out. After a while it did go through, but the grey version of the message persisted in my chat, separate from the black version. If I try to delete the grey message I get the error "Tried to delete a non-failed message."

It persisted after I closed the chat window and then reopened it. After a full quit and restart the grey message went away.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified. Reproduce the delayed chat send in Keybase GUI 1.0.22, then trace why the grey pending message remains beside the delivered message; done means the duplicate disappears without requiring a full restart and deletion no longer reports a non-failed message.
