Importing identity does not work on Linux

[IvarSnaaijer]

I just downloaded 0.0.32, but was not able to import my identity. The file select dialog opens, but after selecting the original dialog is gone. when I reopen the code is not imported.

Which Browser?
Which OS?

That was quick ;). Firefox on linux. I'll have to check the exact versions.

I got this error in the console :
TypeError: Argument 1 of MutationObserver.observe is not an object. content-script.js:189:5

Firefox 65.0 (64-bits) (Dutch locale) on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

I tried to reproduce on a blank page, but the console does not show the error, turned add-on debugging on, does not help. I have no idea what I'm doing ;)
Could you point me to a resource on how to help you? Is there something I can do to help ?

I looked at the code, I expect onIdentityfileChange to fire, but I have not debugged an extension yet.

I'll try it on a Linux box when i have access to one.

[IvarSnaaijer]

I might be able to facilitate that. is there a way to send a more private message ?
You can send me a mail if you add a @ and .nl to obvious places.

Also, i took the time to read the main page.... I installed the code in chrome and I get the same thing. So at least it is consistent.
I do not have the Firefox Development edition, Chrome sounds like a better option for this kind of debugging.

This is not Ubuntu-specific.

I get this strange behavior (pop-up window vanishes whenever it loses focus) also on Debian (both in Google Chrome and in Chromium, latest versions).

I have no other extensions that use pop-up windows and I could not find anything conclusive on the Internet, except someone who claimed that this is intended behavior by Google.

From a user experience perspective this would be a quiet disturbing feature :-).

I installed the extension in Firefox 65.0.1 on a Windows 10 machine and get the same result. Importing does not seem to function. nst0022 might be on to something.

the extension "pop-out" window disappears? Sorry if I'm off the track, this is my best guess from several recent issues. Maybe this and other issues can be solved by moving all interactive/wizardy features to a separate page, since then it won't disappear easily. The pop-down is probably best reserved for single click features. HTH

Ah yes this is a known issue on Linux and Windows:

Doesn't look like they're gonna fix it anytome soon :(
I'll work on it.
