gapi.auth2.authorize does not take login_hint into account when passing the User ID

[remideneleaodocs]

When passing the Google User ID as the login_hint property of the gapi.auth2.authorize no account is preselected. Instead the whole list of user accounts is displayed. It only works when providing the User Email Address instead of his User ID contrary to what is explained in the documentation:

The email, or User ID, of a user to pre-select in the sign-in flow. This is susceptible to modification by the user, unless prompt: "none" is used.

Note that I checked that the User ID was valid (and in my case it is provided by the Google Drive UI integration as the userId parameter)

I'm having the same issue. Would be great to get this fixed as a user id is immutable, unlike an email address.

I have the same issue.

Also says it here:

Set the parameter value to an email address or sub identifier, which is equivalent to the user's Google ID.

Except the sub identifier does not work. Only email works.

I have the same problem with this feature... When will someone fix it?

I can't believe this bug hasn't been resolved yet.

This looks like a question about Google Login and Authentication. Please address this question to the google-signin tag on stackoverflow(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/google-signin)

If you believe this is in error, please reopen the issue.

@dvanderb it's not a question about Google Login and Authentication. It's a bug report that says that the login_hint parameter doesn't work with a User ID, despite what the documentation says.
