Dear David,

Thanks for your report. Unfortunately I'm extremely swamped for the next
couple of weeks. I have also never used the Chat feature. For this
reason I'm tagging this bug as "help".

Two short questions:
In Bug#983369 a few minutes later you wrote the date in the history is
wrong, although in this bug it reads like you cannot display the history
at all. Which one is correct?

Did you start a fresh linphone profile or is the sqlite database
upgraded from an older version? Could you (for a test) move it away to
have it recreated?

I fully understand choosing an RC severity, but I'm at a loss debugging
this and I lack the time to dig into it, so this bug might make
linphone-desktop miss the Bullseye release unless someone steps up to
debug this.
