I haven’t found any bugs during testing so far, just two small things that could perhaps be improved. By the way, I think the new button design is great! :+1:

  1. Perhaps this window is a bit too wide for this short text?

  2. I noticed that if a profile is used on two devices and the same chat request is selected on both and it is deleted on the non-desktop device, it continues to be displayed in the DC-Desktop chat window. This isn’t really a problem. As soon as you select a different chat, the request disappears. But maybe it would be better if the request disappeared immediately in DC-Desktop after deletion and was replaced with this text?
