I noticed a possible discrepancy between `dispatcher.sender_id` and `tracker.sender_id` in my Rasa custom actions.

I notice that in the `run(dispatcher, tracker, domain)` method of my custom `rasa_core.actions.Action` classes, it is the case that `dispatcher.sender_id==tracker.sender_id`. This is expected.

However, this equality does not appear to hold in the `submit(dispatcher, tracker, domain)` of my `rasa_core.actions.forms.FormAction` classes. Here, `dispatcher.sender_id` is the sender\_id I passed to my `agent.handle_message()` function. However, `tracker.sender_id=="default"`.

Is this behavior intended? Or perhaps it has been fixed in a later version (I am quite behind, rasa\_core==0.10.4). Thank you for your help!

Hey @TomLaMantia. I haven’t seen this behaviour with the later versions of the Rasa Core, but if you upgrade and notice the same behaviour, feel free to raise this once again.

Okay, thanks @Juste
