Bug description

If you're listening to a long voice memo, and your phone goes to sleep while the voice memo is playing, and signal is set to lock after a certain amount of time, signal will lock and stop playback of the voice memo.

This COULD be tolerable, if after unlocking your phone (and signal), it resumed the voice message or at least returned to the thread you left off at, but instead you are returned to the home screen of your phone, and upon launching signal again you find you totally lost your spot, returning you to your conversation lists,, and not the last thread you were in… with the play head on the voice message where it left off.

It's not just that the voice message stops… it's not just that you lose your playback position, it's not just that you lose the last conversation you were in, it's not just that you get returned back to your conversation list… it's that you're dropped to your home screen on your phone!

This simply shouldn't ever happen. And the worst part: This would all be tolerable if the play-head retained the position you left off at. It still shouldn't happen… but it would be excusable.
