Disabling password manager doesn't causes the crash when signing into GitHub.

hmm, I can't reproduce even with built-in password manager enabled

Unable to reproduce the issue after upgrade from 0.15.310 or clean install on 0.16.0. Closing the issue for now. Will reopen if I can get reliable STR.

I'm still experiencing this crash on Ubuntu 17.04 with brave 0.16.9 rev fba98fc. Let me know how I can help? Password manager or not 😕

Re-opening just in case.

It seems as though another Linux user is experiencing login issues as well : https://community.brave.com/t/bug-report-login-crashes-brave/3947

It seems as though another Linux user is experiencing login issues as well :

Linux user here, also experiencing this issue, fx with Facebook. Happens after 8 characters typed into the password field.

Seems like this is such is now fixed with the latest update!

[bsclifton]

@frk2 that is correct- we have fixed this with our latest release 😄 (0.16.12). Menus on Gnome are still broken (we're working on a hot-fix for that)

The root cause was: 0.16.9 shipped with Muon version 4.0.2 instead of 4.0.3 because of a build problem (the fix for login happened in 4.0.3).

Closing as this issue is now resolved

@srirambv @LaurenWags @alexwykoff please test the issue was fixed.

[bsclifton]

@luixxiul I'm going to assign a more appropriate milestone as we'll have a Linux release soon (it can be tested with 0.17.x also, but we'll be pushing a 0.16.x hot-fix before that)
