<p>I have bad news and good news.<br>
The bad news is that the issue originally introduced in 1.2.7 is still not fixed.<br>
The really good news is that I just found a simple workaround for the problem, so simple in fact that I woldn't mind adopting it as standard procedure, as long as it's documented accordingly.</p>
<p>Per the original issue:<br>
<code>/opt/Bisq-1.2.7/Bisq --logLevel=INFO --torControlPort=9051</code> fails as described,<br>
however:<br>
<code>/opt/Bisq-1.2.7/Bisq --logLevel=INFO --torControlPort=9051 --torControlPassword=.</code> <strong>works well</strong></p>
<p>So, by <strong>specifying a Tor control password</strong> even though one was not needed (remember we're using onion-grater which manages access control in a different way), Bisq started attempting to connect to the system Tor as intended.<br>
However, <strong>without a password</strong>, the connection attempt <strong>does not occur.</strong></p>
<p>Tested and confirmed for versions 1.2.7 and 1.3.4.</p>
<p>On this basis, I think this issue can be changed to lower severity. However, the failure condition still exists, is unexpected and with a non-obvious solution, so I believe some kind of fix is still necessary.</p>
<p>Changing title for clarity and leaving open for now.</p>
