Body

A public issue shows "Unable to load page. Please reload page and try again" when I open it signed in. Reloading does not help. Signed out, the same URL renders fine.

The issue is cross-referenced from a private repository in an organization that enforces SAML SSO, and I had no active SAML session for that organization.

Steps to reproduce

1. In a private repository of an organization that enforces SAML SSO, open a pull request that links to a public issue in another repository.
2. Let the SAML session for the organization lapse.
3. Open the public issue.

Expected

The issue renders, without the timeline entry that needs SSO.

Actual

The page data comes back with "issue": null and this error, and the issue area shows the generic message:

{
  "type": "SAML",
  "message": "saml error",
  "path": ["repository", "issue", "timelineItems", "totalCount"]
}

Example: cloudnative-pg/cloudnative-pg#11126

Workaround

Start a SAML session for the organization and reload, or open the issue signed out.

The workaround section still assumes the SSO sign-in fixed the page for you; drop it if it didn't.

Same issue here on AndroidTV. What the hell is wrong with this website? GitHub has deviated so god damned far from what it was in the beginning, it's unreliable garbage now that doesn't even spit out proper error codes or further information

Unable to load page. What a piece of absolute crap.
