Text boxes don't load in qutebrowser

[LloydLynx]

Browser, version and OS: 

qutebrowser v2.0.2
Backend: QtWebEngine (Chromium 83.0.4103.122)
Qt: 5.15.2

CPython: 3.9.2
PyQt: 5.15.2

Debian 11

 

Steps to reproduce/what were you doing before it happened?

Google doesn't allow accounts to be logged into from from many lesser known browsers. There is a workaround for qutebrowser here that changes the user agent, which then the user can log into their Google account. It's suppose to only change the user agent for accounts.google.com. Since applying this fix, text boxes on linustechtips.com don't load.

 

What happened?

Text boxes won't load except for the "Drag files here to attach..." part of the box. Title boxes seem to work fine.

 

What did you expect to happen?

For the text box to load and work properly.

 

Link to a page where it happened, if applicable: 

Creating topics, status updates, replying in threads, etc...

 

Screenshots of the issue, if applicable: 

 

Any other relevant details:

The LTT forum has worked perfectly in qutebrowser for a long time, until today when I applied the fix for Google account logins.

 

whatsmybrowser.org reports my browser as "Default Browser".

Sorry, we don't formally support qutebrowser, especially if they're caused by weird hacks like that. Issues with the editor like this tend to be pretty difficult to debug and fix, which simply isn't worth the time for an issue that only affects one person. There are a number of browser-specific workarounds in the editor, so pretending to be a different browser could potentially cause problems. If you're able confirm that it is caused by the config change (eg by disabling it and verifying that it works again), I suggest raising it with the browser devs, since their site-specific config clearly isn't working quite right.
