"typing" and little pencil no longer work with spark 2.5.8 beta1?

I’ve installed 2.5.8 beta 1 on a few machines and I’m noticing chat between two 2.5.8 beta 1 clients, the “typing” with the little pencil no longer works.

Anyone else seeing this?

Hey opie6373,

We are using Spark 2.5.8 internally and I do see the pencil when the other party is typing a reply. Both users are using Spark 2.5.8. Are both users using Spark 2.5.8 in your case? Do you see any error in the log files?

Thanks,

– Gato

yes, both people using 2.5.8 beta 1.

on the server this error is in logs repeatedly.

On my spark log, nothing.

On the other person’s spark:

May I also mention, that with 2.5.7 we also have an issue which i posted about (typing hitting enter, appears in my chat window. recipient hears sound, but see no message in chat window). I don’t know if this is related or not.

But we installed 2.5.8. beta 1 on a few machines and its still happening (just discovered this am) plus now this “typing” issue.
