Details
Steps to reproduce:
- Make my matrix account online
- Go to Account setting - E2E encryption
- Click "verify" on another session
- Click "this is me" on my other device
Actual results:
Nothing really changed, and verification never continued because thunderbird does not show any interactive verification dialogs.
On terminal, the following is printed:
prpl-matrix.matrix: error while handling verification event
"ascii" is not a function
Expected results:
Thunderbird shows a dialog (or something similar) for the interactive verification.
Either the emoji-based verification, or QR code, or anything else.

Interesting, I think that error means we somehow end up initializing QR code verification, even though we don't support that. What should happen instead is that you get a dialog in the e2e preferences tab with the emoji string.
Does the same issue happen for verifications initiated in the other direction?

btw the error is in resource:///modules/matrix/safe-buffer.js on line 35

When the other consumer requests verification nothing happens actually. I see the notification that they requested the verification and in a few minutes I see it as an expired request due to inactivity
I see an error - not sure it's related: resource://gre/modules/subprocess/subprocess_common.sys.mjs in 119

Hm, something like that might've been fixed in the recent matrix SDK update: https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/diff/033520b6f2e7f9132cf5879065eb04e4244941cb/chat/protocols/matrix/shims/safe-buffer.js
When updating the flow worked correctly for me.

Sounds like we think this is fixed then! I'll close it, but do shout if you're still seeing this on Thunderbird > 125.
