For some reason I had to renew my Google credentials on one of the accounts I had on Pop!, it was acting weird (The window was freezing) so I removed the account and tried to re-add it.

Now when I go to add a Gmail account it freezes either at the first screen as soon as you try and advance, or it freezes just as the password screen is loading typically before the fade overlay is fading out.

I tested against the other available accounts, the other windows work without crashing. This is limited to the Google window only.

Using the advice in this post I used the WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnome-control-center command to bring up the window and sign in. Though the first time I tried it I got an HTTP error 400, the second time the password field loaded as uninteractable, and the third time worked.

Is there a way of debugging what’s gone on here?

    Interesting… that has nothing to do with compositing, but rather TLS/SSL (ie. encryption). I’m not sure what would be the cause of that though :|

      I wonder if I blocked something important when I used a tracker-blocking list for my Hosts file 🤔
