I gave this a test now and I am not able to reproduce this, I used the mesh chat example from the nRF Connect SDK where you can send a long message to a specific node. The fix from #461 have solved the issue in my humble opinion.
Hello @roshanrajaratnam ! Unfortunately I’m not able to test it as of now…but as I explained earlier in this ticket, it’s pretty easy to reproduce as long as you have two phones and two nodes. I may have time to test next week tho 👍
