panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range [2:1] about sigtop HOT 5 CLOSED

I've created a test branch that will provide a few diagnostics. Please run the following commands and paste the output of the last command:

git clone -b test https://github.com/tbvdm/sigtop.git
cd sigtop
go build
./sigtop msg msg

Thanks.

~/git/sigtop/sigtop msg msg
message: 3,1*; 0; 0:1,1
valid: 965, 153

It appears that you have a message with a mention that doesn't "fit" into that message. Very curious.

Could you update the test branch and run sigtop again:

git pull
go build
rm -fr msg
./sigtop msg msg

This time you will also see the JSON dump of the message. Could you take a look and see if there's anything that seems suspicious? For example, does it have a non-empty errors array?

Furthermore, you will also see a line like this:

conversation: "Alice", sent: 2023-01-02 12:34:56

That's the conversation the message belongs to, and the time it was sent. Using that information, could you look up the message in Signal Desktop? What does it look like? Does it consist of a single mention, without any other text?

Hi,
thanks for the support.
While trying to find the message the computer swapped to a very high load.
Finally i found it in the database by sqlitebrowser, it is incoming with an empty body.
I searched for the message before and after the relevant one and there is no corresponding entry in Signal Desktop.

Thanks. Could you check two more things?

First, could you look up the message on your phone? Is it visible there? What does it look like?

Second, could you update the test branch and run sigtop again:

git pull
go build
rm -fr msg
./sigtop msg msg

sigtop will now adjust the mention so that it fits in the message. Could you open the relevant conversation file in the msg directory and look up the message? The message text will consist of a single mention. Does the message make sense within the context of the conversation? Does it look like the correct person is being mentioned? Does the message look complete or does it look like something is missing?
