TypeError when Selecting a Contact

[heywoodlh]

Unable to select contacts. Seems that len(contacts) is returning NoneType rather than int.

Here is the traceback:

There are some problems currently with loading contacts from signal-cli -- it doesn't seem to pre-populate the contacts list anymore in the config file -- which are likely causing this issue

Cool. Since you are aware of the issue do you have any plans to fix it? If not, is there any way I could help?

From looking around the codebase briefly, it seems that most of the contacts related stuff (and other GUI stuff) is in scurses/__init__.py. With a little guidance I wouldn't mind contributing if I'm able to figure stuff out.
