Floating date headers in chats are moved / duplicated due to edited messages
Using a supported version?
- [X] I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
- [X] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.
Overall summary
Signal Desktop considers the edited timestamp for the floating date change headers, in contrast to Signal on Android. That means these headers may be moved unexpectedly or even be duplicated an arbitrary number of times.
Steps to reproduce
- Send a message shortly (within editing time range) before midnight.
- Send another message.
- Wait for midnight.
- Send another message.
- Edit the first message.
Expected result
Only a single date change header per date change.
Actual result
Multiple or unexpectedly positioned date change headers.
