** Description changed:
- With Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 (brand new 64bit install on a Dell XPS13
- laptop), I cannot add a Google account using Online-Accounts. If I
- choose to add a new Google account in Online Accounts, a window appears
- where I can enter my Google email. After entering my email and pressing
- the Next button, a window appears where I can enter my Google password.
- After entering the password and pressing the Next button, an empty
- window appears and nothing else happens. I expected this to show
- something useful, and actually add the Google account to my Gnome
- environment.
+ Impact
+ -----
+ Users will be unable to log in to a Google account using GNOME Online Account
which is used by default in Ubuntu GNOME and Ubuntu Budgie.
+
+ Any other browser or service that uses webkit2gtk is similarly broken,
+ such as the Epiphany browser.
+
+ The second issue fixed here is that any user who opted in to the new
+ YouTube will only get a white screen when they attempt to visit YouTube.
+ The new YouTube is still opt-in now but will eventually become the
+ default for everyone.
+
+ Test Case
+ ---------
+ 1. Install the updated webkit2gtk on Ubuntu GNOME.
+ 2. Restart your computer (this may be necessary because of LP: #1610944)
+ 3. Log in. Open Settings>Online Accounts. Remove any Google accounts already
configured. Add your Google account.
+ 4. Install Evolution if it's not already installed and verify that your Gmail
account loads.
+
+ Optional, because the beta is closed to new entrants:
+ 5. Install epiphany-browser
+ 6. Open the Web app (epiphany-browser) and log in to your Google account.
+ 7. Visit https://www.google.com/new to make sure that your browser is set to
use the "new YouTube."
+ 8. If the new YouTube only shows a white screen, this part of the bug is not
fixed.
+
+ Regression Potential
+ --------------------
+ The regression potential was limited by only cherry-picking the commits to
fix these 2 high-profile issues. 2.16.2 is being rolled out to most distros now.
+
+ Other Info
+ ----------
+ Fixed in 17.10 Alpha "artful" by updating to 2.16.2
+
+ Original Bug Report
