Describe the bug

In my DMs chat, where I had a direct chat with my user, I now have one chat with the following strange properties:

In the DMs overview, no name at all is shown,
in the chat list, I see the generic User at the top of the list, one message of the user I see no username (but instead part of the message shown where the username should be); in a second message from the same user in the same DM chat I see the sending username.

**Describe the bug** In my `DMs` chat, where I had a direct chat with my user, I now have one chat with the following strange properties: * In the `DMs` overview, [no name at all is shown](https://github.com/dabeani/meshcoreterm/issues/226), * in the chat list, I see the generic `User` at the top of the list, one message of the user I see no username (but instead [part of the message shown where the username should be](https://github.com/dabeani/meshcoreterm/issues/248)); in a second message from the _same_ user in the _same_ DM chat I see the sending username.

Fixed together with #226 in v0.9.14

The chat shows the contact name, the saved chat name, or the short key — the same on device and WebUI.
