Signal-desktop: Own number appears in contact list

Bug description

My own number appears as an entry in the contacts list on the left, as the first after the set of Signal users I've actually had conversations with.

Steps to reproduce

-Open Signal-Desktop. See own number there.

Actual result: My own number is displayed among the contacts.
Expected result: My own number should not be there, unless I actually choose to have a conversation with myself or have a contact entry with my own number.

Screenshots

Further info

This seems to have happened right after upgrading to version 1.0.35 of Signal; before the entry with my own number was not there. Note that I do not have a contact entry with my phone number. If I actually type stuff in a conversation with my own number, only what I type appears on the screen (this is unlike Signal for Android, where the message sent is then duplicated as one received as well). If I delete the conversation the contact entry simply drops back to the top of the list of non-messaged users (unlike with Signal for Android, where the conversation is totally deleted and my own number does not appear as a contact).

Platform info

Operating System: Ubuntu 16.04

Signal version: Signal 1.0.35

I confirm that too.
May not be a bad thing, though! I started to use it to send secure) notes from my PC to the mobile - Let's keep it? :)

Thats a very nice feature, please not remove it, i used that in Telegram for notes as well. :)

If it's a feature that's fine. But I will say that if your own number is not a contact, nor have you even started a conversation with yourself (which I think should still be supported), then it's inconsistent to have an entry with your number in the contact list—which is why it seemed like a bug to me.

It's absolutely not a problem that you are showing in the conversation list on the side. But I do have one question:

@aibaraiduas Is there anything in that conversation with yourself right now? And, to confirm, there's no name for that number since you don't have yourself as a contact, correct?

@scottnonnenberg I can confirm that I for one show up with my phone number listed first in the contacts list - but it is accompanyied by my profile name, i.e. +[REDACTED]35 ~Alfonso Muskedunder. What's more, in the convo with myself, "I" am also marked as Verified in the header.

[scottnonnenberg]

@AlfonsoMuskedunder Yep, you should be verified. You trust yourself, right? :0)

[AlfonsoMuskedunder]

I try.

@scottnonnenberg There is nothing in that conversation with myself since I deleted it. And there's no name for the number since I don't have a contact for myself.
