Disappearing Gmail Labels #456
2 participants
I see exception filters in "Fanboy's Social Block List":
mail.google.com#@#a[title="Facebook"]
mail.google.com#@#a[title="Google Plus"]
mail.google.com#@#a[title="Google+"]
mail.google.com#@#a[title="LinkedIn"]
mail.google.com#@#a[title="Pinterest"]
mail.google.com#@#a[title="Twitter"]
mail.google.com#@#a[title="Youtube"]
So the issue is probably related to issue #452, which is fixed in version 0.8.2.4 (which I posted minutes ago to the Chrome store). Looks like the issue may have affected more users than I thought.
If you can confirm it is fixed once you get 0.8.2.4.
Not a Gmail user here, but I have an account for testing purpose. Where are these labels?
Never mind, I see it -- or rather, I can see it's not visible.
Settings->Labels and create them. They'll appear on your left-hand side where Inbox, Drafts etc are
Hah github comment/reply race condition 
Ok I see the problem, will fix.
Great! I'll test it as soon as the new version hits the Chrome store.
Just posted to Chrome store, should be there after 60 minutes.
OK, I'll check back in a bit
Confirmed working for me now. Thanks much for the speedy fix and for creating a great extension. Cheers!
Interesting. If I disable the plugin and refresh Gmail, I see the labels. If I then enable it and refresh it's still ok. But if I then quit and reopen chrome, the labels are gone.
If the plugin is enabled and the labels don't show (after the quit and restart), and I disable the plugin and refresh, the labels come back.
Could you force an update of your filter lists? (Purge all caches)
Never mind I see it. There is something else happening then. At launch, the content scripts are injected manually, so it seems this is where there is a problem.
Looks like that did it!
Earlier this week I noticed that 4 of the labels in Gmail were blank. They showed no text, however they were empty placeholders (and the blank space could still be clicked on and take me into that label/folder).
The four were my labels for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google+. If I went into label management and renamed them, they would show up (say Facebook -> Facebook1). But then renaming them back caused them to blank out again.
I decided to check out settings in uBlock since I had just switched to it from AdBlocker Plus right around the time that I noticed the issue. When I tried disabling the Fanboy's Social Blocking List plugin, I discovered that was the cause. With it disabled, the labels showed up again.
Not sure if this is a uBlock issue or a Fanboy's Social Blocking issue, but figured I'd let you know.
