I don't think there is currently any reasonable way to verify this bug, nor that this fix necessarily fixes the core issue. I was only able to recreate this issue when using the branches to attempt to avoid deleting the U1 token at all (which, I've since come to realize is basically impossible to avoid at this point), and when I attempted to use the proposed fix, instead of a blank window, I simply got no window, because online-accounts would not open the account plug-in to log in again, if the account already exists.
While the code being fixed here may have been wrong, I don't think it will give the desired result. Even with this fix, one must still delete the account in order to get the login window to be displayed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-system-settings- online-accounts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1594944 Title: Setup.exec() for existing account type results in blank full screen window Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in webapps-sprint: In Progress Status in ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: If an account already exists, calling Setup.exec() again results in a blank window being overlaid on top of the application which made the request. There is no way to close this window. This API is what the online accounts integration in the scopes API relies upon, to allow logging in to accounts, and so we have come to rely upon this API as well in multiple places, as a means to log into the Ubuntu One account, when it is necessary to do so. However, due to this issue, the only way to reliably present a login window at an appropriate time, is to delete the account when it appears to have been invalidated by the server, and to then present the login window to create a new account.
