[kacper-mikolajczak]

Hi @muttmuure, sorry I am occupied with other tasks! For now I don't have a clear solution, but I would love to dig into that once I am free. Can we wait with final decision whether close the issue till Friday? Thanks a lot!

[muttmuure]

OK!

[kacper-mikolajczak]

Hi @muttmuure I want to let you know that I've been mostly involved in Monitoring setup and finishing the hasDraft PR and was not able to get back to this assignment.

I will continue with monitoring setup (and Control phase in general) next week, so let me know if you want to close or put on hold this issue, so we can get back to it later. Thanks a lot and have a nice peaceful weekend!

[muttmuure]

Let's put it on hold

Handling

[muttmuure]

$750 for @Ollyws C+

[muttmuure]

Do we need a regression test for this one?

[Ollyws]

We could add the regression test:

1. Spam the 'a' key, typing 'aaaaaa...'
2. Press send
3. Spam the 'b' key, typing 'bbbbbb...'
4. Expect that the composer shows first 'aaaaaa', then clears it, then it shows 'bbbbbb'

[Ollyws]

Requested in ND.
