Tdesktop: Connection lost, stuck on Connecting... Restart helps

[kirsan31]

Steps to reproduce

1. Russia...
2. Use tdesktop, from several minutes to several hours, until it lost connection.

Expected behaviour

Automatically reconnecting, because, if I restart program manually, connection is return.

Actual behaviour

Program stuck on connecting indefinitely...

Configuration

Operating system: windows 7 x64

Version of Telegram Desktop: 1.2.17

Connection type: auto, ipv6 checked (without ipv6 - same behavior)

Used theme: default

DEBUG logs with connection lost and returning after restart:
tcp_14_45.txt
log_14_45.txt

@kirsan31 Yeah, thanks for the report. I hope to fix that in the next update..

Same issue. I need to restart Telegram manually because it suddenly loses connection and stops sending/receiving packets. Telegram should check heartbeat every few seconds/minutes and automatically reconnect if connection is lost or stuck. And if possible, add menu item to reconnect manually (without restarting app).
I'm using 1.2.17 now.

@SagePtr It tries to reconnect, but it doesn't do everything it does when it's just launched.

#4556 ?

[stek29]

@Aokromes no, it's about re-requesting simpleconfig, and won't be fixed by just opening it's window.

[john-preston]

@stek29 Please check if the latest alpha version 1.2.19 has this problem.

[stek29]

@john-preston I assumed it doesn't because I saw commits fixing this behavior.

It's quite hard to make a test environment -- I'd have to block IPs it fetches manually once and then somehow mitm dns/app HTTPS requests.

Exactly :(

[kirsan31]

Testing latest builds for several days - all ok.

Has been happening for about 6 months on Telegram for Android as well. Kill/restart app fixes it.

It's still happening. May 19, 2019. I use Elementary OS, linux 4.15.0-50-generic.

Exactly the same situation. Thanks for kepka, it helped me.
Upd: and even kepka worked only a few hours and then lost connection

That's true...
