      @vishcompany said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch:

      The keyboard covers the texting area while typing, as was mentioned before, I believe.

      It should normally work well if you have the default settings on your phone (scaling ect...), at least it works on most phones, but next release will allow to make sure it displays well right on top of the keyboard in all cases, even if you have custom settings, as it will calibrate to real keyboard height at first launch.

          Do you know Which verison of Signal-Desktop is vulnerable, and which one is patched?

          I plan to release a new version of the app very soon, but If needed I can do just a version bumb tomorow to make sure the app is not vulnerable.

            By safety measure I will make a release based on V8.2.0 tomorow

            Edit: But it seems Signal-Desktop was safe from 7.74.x so the latest 5 version of Signal UT were already safe in regard to these vulnerabilities (i.e all the versions that I build myself from source, not sure if the snap binaries were safe back then when I used the snap binaries at first), specifically the current version 7.86.0-1 seems safe.

              Signal UT 8.2.0-1 is available! The improvements are:

              -Bump to version 8.2.0
              -Calibrate keyboard height, to real height measured on first start

              Any feedback to confirm everything is working is welcome!

              @rund_europa

              Your keyboard height problem should be solved on latest revision can you test?

                I just updated. The app starts but immediately closes/crashes. Don't see Signal Desktop load.

                The only error I see in the service log is along the lines of

                /utils/mic-permission-requester/Main.qml:68 Invalid property assignment: color expected.
                

                Edit: Happens after a reboot too, so not some lingering Electron process.

                        Here will be the goals for next revision:

                        • Investigate and understand why Signal is randomly crashing (SIGSEGV), when uploading files for ContentHub, while other electron / XWayland apps are not in the same situation, and if possible fix it.
                        • Correct action of the search button in the chat
                        • Allow access to the Medias panel in the contact info page.

                            Working great on the X23, also the keyboard is brilliant now.
                            Thanks a lot!

                              I'd like to change the function of the return key from send to new line. I guess it's hidden somewhere in the menus.
                              Is there a chance of the menus being accessible at some point?

                                No it's not a feature offered by Signal Desktop. There is no interesting feature in the top bar menu, everything is in the left menu. You can acheive what you want by expanding the editing area by typing on the small arrow.

                                  Thank you, that works fine.

                                  Regarding the left menu, if it has not been mentioned yet: On my X23 I can access only the left part of the menu, when in portrait mode. In landscape mode, the right half becomes visible, but any scrolling only moves the left half, so the lower parts of the right half are not accessible.

                                      Yesterday I started with a Oneplus 5t with UT. I tried to videocall with my mother on Signal UT. We could talk and I could see her, but see couldn't see me.
                                      I also have family abroad, so it is a pretty important function for me.

                                      Also do I have a very big local community here on Signal (>500p, 20 groups and also more specific topicgroups non-local). It is important for me to put off sound-notifications for some groups and not for others. I couldn't find how to do that. Is this already somehow possible?

                                        Yes: go into the group you want to silence, open the menu from the three dots at the right hand top, and choose the 'mute' setting that you want.

                                        Is currently using an Op5t
                                        Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

                                            It has probably nothing to do with the Android uprade, there is currently a know random crash when uploading files specifically a Picture. I've investigated and found where the bug comes from, I will try to fix it next week.

                                            Try again several times and you will probably observe that sometimes it crashes sometimes not.
