Hi, I work at Signal on calling. Opening the mic while not in a call would be a serious bug, so I looked into it. I ran Micro Snitch and verified that it only sees the mic as active when you are in a call with someone (if you're in a group call and alone, keeps the mic off; if you're calling someone and they haven't answered yet, it keeps the mic off). So I don't think it's an issue with calling. However, if I hit the "record audio message" button and then hit cancel, I can get it to stay open until I close the app and restart it. I will report this bug to my coworkers at Signal that work in that area of the code. Could you try and see if this problem is caused by the voice recording feature? For example, if you quit Signal and start back up, does the bug go away? If you start a voice recording and cancel it, does it come back? Update: you can track the progress of the bug at https://signalmessenger.atlassian.net/browse/DESKTOP-2406 https://signalmessenger.atlassian.net/browse/DESKTOP-2406 And if you have new information, please put it there.
