Description

Hi,

I am unable to decrypt on the keybase.io website. I get the following message in console:

`sitewide-js.js:90 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'toString' of undefined

(anonymous function) @ sitewide-js.js:90
window.iced.Deferrals._Class._fulfill @ sitewide-js.js:93
(anonymous function) @ sitewide-js.js:90
CryptoForm._click_submit @ sitewide-js.js:90
(anonymous function) @ sitewide-js.js:90
jQuery.event.dispatch @ sitewide-js.js:16
elemData.handle @ sitewide-js.js:15`

This is on a mac and happens in Chrome 49.0.2623.87 (64-bit). I have also tried in latest public versions of Safari and Firefox.

Thanks,
Paul.

Research direction

Start with sitewide-js.js around line 90 and the CryptoForm._click_submit call shown in the browser stack trace. Reproduce the decryption failure in Chrome, Safari, or Firefox and trace the undefined value causing the toString error. Done means the reported decryption action no longer raises this error in the affected browsers.
