Receiving new Spark message opens window but doesn't display message

It’s somewhat suspicious that I can’t identify the source of those ‘warning’ log messages. They did point me towards more code locations where the isolation fix was needed. I’ve prepared another patch.

There’s no need to provide further packet dumps, by the way. We’ve learned what we can from them, I think.

New build is http://download.igniterealtime.org/spark/dailybuilds/spark_2_8_0_897.exe

As i understand, there is not need to provide message logs (from debugger), but error/warn logs can still have something useful.

Yes, indeed. The stanza’s (XML dumps) won’t include new insights, I think. I am hoping that with my changes, new things are written to the logfiles though, so please keep a close eye on those.

Guus, a side effect in this build. Can’t close chat window. Can only close individual tabs.

Odd. Anything in the logs?

After Spark restart first time it closes chat window, but next window can’t be closed.

warn.log (this entry is repeating for a long time though):

Finally, I get to see one of the error messages that I introduced. Fixed the stack trace problem: https://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/SPARK-1804

The privacy list issue is annoying, as the actual exception is being printed to your console, not to the log files. I’ve fixed that here: https://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/SPARK-1805 . With that change, raise a new issue for the privacy list issue (including whatever stack trace is added to the warning log file).

All of these issues were unrelated @Gretchen Raff’s issue though.

Here is what was logged in my errors.log file after it happened this morning:

That error is not related. Was just a temporary side effect. You should update to http://download.igniterealtime.org/spark/dailybuilds/spark_2_8_0_899.exe

Ok, now I’m running spark version 2.8.0.899. Here is everything that was logged the last time this happened:

I wonder if these errors relate to your original problem. They are caused by a concurrency issue in our contact list (where it handles things like status updates). I’ve checked in a fix as part of https://issues.igniterealtime.org/browse/SPARK-1808

http://download.igniterealtime.org/spark/dailybuilds/spark_2_8_0_900.exe

Unfortunately the issue remains in the 2.8.0.900 build

Yes, 900 build was unlikely to fix the hidden message issue. But it might fix Gretchen’s issue with new tab opening as minimized when double clicking on a contact. I suppose.

I was able to fix the problem by changing some of the settings under Preferences - Notifications.

What exactly have you changed?

I think it’s a problem with the toast popup option. I turned it off on PC and turned it on for Mac. Now it seems like all messages are being received.

Running on Ubuntu with no toaster popping and I still get the same text-less window.

I’m running on Windows 7 with no toast popup and I also often get a text-less window.

I’m now on Spark 2.8.0.900. when I received a message today that didn’t show up in my chat window, nothing was logged in errors.log, and this is all that was logged in warn.log:
