502 error - chatables

I got a 502 error here on Meta today. Apart from the pop up, I didn’t notice any unexpected behavior. I am not really sure what caused this, and I am not consistently able to reproduce it, but I was able to trigger it a few times.

Here is what I did:

  1. I used the + in the sidebar to open the DM chat with someone I talked to before but who is currently not in my sidebar.
  2. I used the full-screen chat button.
  3. I changed the size of the browser window so it was smaller.
  4. I made the browser window full screen again.
  5. I switched from full-screen chat back to the small chat window.
  6. About 7 seconds later, I saw

The browser console showed:

That’s all I have. I hope someone can make more of it than I can. If it helps, I have a video showing how I reproduced this.

Maybe it’s caused by this step? Is it possible that it happens when you search for someone in that chat filter?

I think I found the step I need to reproduce: When I type “L” into the chat filter the error appears about 30 seconds later
