That's the advantage of people reporting things you've already fixed.
It's my favourite type of bug.

Connection dropped means that the client closed its end of the socket,
or the wifi dropped, or someone dug up an undersea cable... that sort
of thing. As far as the broker is concerned, the client has
disappeared and it can't tell why. Other reasons for disconnection
could be exceeding keepalive, a protocol violation, or an
authentication error.
