~anteater/mms-stack-bugs#27: 
"Start new chat" UI is misleading; touching "add number" button crashes

So my phone seems to be toggling between this issue and this one: https://todo.sr.ht/~anteater/mms-stack-bugs/26

When it does not have the above issue, I can start vgmms(!)

I'm then greeted with a "Start new chat" button. I click it, there's a prompt for me to enter a phone number. I do.

(I've tried "+1(number)", "1(number)", and plain "(number)")

When I hit "open" it just pops me back to the blank page with the "Start new chat" button.

When, instead, I hit the "+" button next to the phone number, it crashes with an error like:

thread 'main' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: ()', /home/mobian/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/gdk-0.13.2/src/event.rs:419:21

There are two issues here: The confusing UI, and the crash.

The + button next to the phone number is for adding the phone number to the list, and the "open chat" button uses the list of numbers already created. Probably "open chat" should be insensitive unless the list is non-empty.

I'm not sure what's happening in the crash--it looks to be in gdk-rs, not vgmms code. I'll see if I can track down the actual problem.

I've filed an issue in gtk-rs. For now, try pressing enter instead of the plus icon.

The enter workaround works. You're right that part of the issue was confusion about the UI also.

The crash has been fixed in 03a5cf20. UI improvements will come later.

updating to the latest commit fixed it for me, thanks. Note for anyone else building it: to get it to build I had to do cargo update -p rustdoc-stripper --precise 0.1.14 as described in #23, which is a temporary workaround that will be fixed later. I am able to attach files, but sending them fails since MMS still doesnt work for me (#23). However this issue is solved :)
