Hello Everyone,
Something I've noticed that's happened over a few Jitsi version is
that OTR conversations need to be refreshed after a period of
inactivity. For example, if I'm chatting OTR with someone and we go
away for a little while then come back, the session will still show as
OTR encrypted but typing messages gives the message
"You've sent me an unreadable encrypted message".
Refreshing the conversation seems to fix it.
Show I report this as a bug or is this expected behavior?
Thanks!
Anthony

On XP pro, I have the latest nightly installed - I have it set to play back on plantronic USB headphones, if I hit the test button to play audio in the headphones,fails - but the phone actually works. The mic input shows sound levels.

I'm not 100% sure, please correct me. I think it's kind of expected
behaviour unfortunately. I would guess it's part of otr4j (or libotr)
because it's the same with all clients using OTR.
So when your active chat session expires or is quit by one
participent, the OTR session has to be reestablished. It has nothing to
do with jitsi in particular. What _can_ be done is the notification
about recieving a message that cannot be read: I'd notify just like an
incoming message plus suggesting to reestablish the otr session with one
click if not doing it automatically.
Especially important on mobile, where it shouldn't happen that
someone sends messages to me and my client knows about it, but doesn't
even notify me, just because the otr session has expired previously.

Thanks!

This happens sometimes on other clients, however, not routinely. If using jitsi you find that you can reproduce this always by going away for a while, then I'd say that is a possible bug, but it could perhaps have something to do with some setting keeping a conversation connection live?

Yes, I agree. In fact, I believe ice seen a similar thing happen in Pidgin once before. But it's definately something that I'm able to reproduce fairly reliably. So I think I'll make a bug report just in case.
Thanks!

Hello Everyone,
Something I've noticed that's happened over a few Jitsi version
is that OTR conversations need to be refreshed after a period of
inactivity. For example, if I'm chatting OTR with someone and we
go away for a little while then come back, the session will still

"You've sent me an unreadable encrypted message".

I'm not 100% sure, please correct me. I think it's kind of
expected behaviour unfortunately. I would guess it's part of otr4j
(or libotr) because it's the same with all clients using OTR.
That may explain why it happens in multiple clients like another
poster suggested. I think both Jitsi and Pidgin (as well as others)
use libotr or some variant of it. Makes sense.
So when your active chat session expires or is quit by one
participent, the OTR session has to be reestablished. It has
nothing to do with jitsi in particular. What _can_ be done is the
notification about recieving a message that cannot be read: I'd
notify just like an incoming message plus suggesting to reestablish
the otr session with one click if not doing it automatically.
In fact, I believe that this is the behavior that happens with Jitsi.
When you type a message and the session has expired, it is (usually)
automatically reestablished. But not always. Sometimes, you have to
manually re-establish the connection. Not a big deal in and of itself
but one of those 'nice to haves'.
Especially important on mobile, where it shouldn't happen that
someone sends messages to me and my client knows about it, but
doesn't even notify me, just because the otr session has expired
previously.
Agreed.
Best Regards,
Anthony

Jitsi uses otr4j. The only similarity that comes to mind would be that
George Politis (the author of otr4j) was inspired by libotr.
A general remark to OTR: We know that we have a lot of issues with it. I
hope to work on this sometimes this year, but I can't promise anything.
If you have a _reproducible_ scenario that doesn't work, please describe it
in a comment to ticket 758 [1] or 1075 [2] with as much details as possible.
