Personally, I think "large IndexedDB value" is a different problem to the "invalid type" errors.

@Half-Shot: are you still seeing this? I'd love to spend some time digging into it with you.

@richvdh unfortunately I logged out and back in because I didn't think the broken session had any value :(. I can give you logs and eyewitness accounts?

ho hum. Thanks anyway!

We don't seem to have seen this recently, so I'm going to close it. I think the decryption logic is more robust these days.
