Description
I introduced a friend to keybase a while ago and they've decided they don't use it enough to want the account around right now so they deleted their account using the web interface. However I now have errors in my chat window because keybase is trying to load the messages from a deleted user.
The error message makes sense and says clearly that the reason is that the user was deleted, but it feels a bit like a system error being displayed which may not be intended.
Here's a screenshot of everything I see, I've redacted other conversations in black and my friends user name in red for privacy.

Let me know if you'd like anymore clarification, also feel free to close this if there's a duplicate. I had a look and couldn't find any but was unsure how to name this and thus how to search for duplicates.
