Public bug reported:
I noticed this first in Evolution, when I tried to log into a Gmail
account through its API.
1. The page containing the first Gmail prompt, for the username/email
addresses, would take several minutes to load.
2. When it did load, after entering the username/email address and
hitting next to move forward to the password prompt, it would again
pause for several minutes and then fail (probably time-out) with the
message from Google, "Something went wrong. Check your connection and
try again."
This also happens when I try to login to Google through gnome-control-
center and "Online Accounts" and through Epiphany.
I've been having intermittent failures due to IPv6 on 16.10, being
unable to reach some sites because DNS would resolve them to IPv6
addresses, including Google. However, I tried disabling IPv6 through
Wired Settings and this didn't change the behavior.
I only noticed this in the current version of Webkit2 because when
Evolution changed to 3.22 from 3.18, when I switched from 16.04 to
16.10, it started using Webkit2 for Oauth authentication to Gmail. It
may exist in earlier versions too.
While I was debugging this, webkit2gtk-4.0_WebKitWebProcess segfaulted,
and I used Apport to send the information on that crash.
