avatar update state synchronization issue.
Markus_95hello. Thanks for the fast response.
I don't think it's a platform specific issue. I think it most likely happens in electron app in general. It doesn't really make app unusable but it's a bit weird as the profile picture / avatar should serve a purpose of visual identification which it doesn't if it does not display consistently. I think this is most likely a bug in cache eviction as you mention. I also guess that it's based on size of an image. The larger one gets updated while smaller version doesn't. I'm adding a screenshot that should help to illustrate this.
As mentioned this is probably not a critical bug as it doesn't make app unusable but in my honest opinion it's still something software engineering team should take care of.
I think you are right. This is a general problem within the Teams application. When I troublshooted this issue I also took a look at the web app and there the picture were working fine. So as you said, this is something the engineering team should take care of it, because I have seen it multiple times now, after I switched my picture.
Greets,
Markus
