Due to an API bug in GNOME Online Accounts, the asynchronous goa_provider_get_all method doesn't accept a GCancellable argument. This makes it difficult to cancel an ongoing call when the CcGoaPanel gets destroyed. This was hacked around by taking a reference on the panel for the duration of the call. Instead of cancelling a pending call on destruction, it would keep the panel alive until the call was over. The hack does not consider the case get_all_providers_cb is called while the panel is still being initialized. E.g. this happen when create the panel passing the paramenters "add <provider>" because the constuct properties are set just after cc_goa_panel_init returns and because goa_provider_add_account will result in a call to g_main_context_iterate (caused by gtk_dialog_run). In order to work around this we can call goa_provider_get_all in _constructed() after all construct properties have been set. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/issues/401 |

- For Linux, version of the C library
- Exact error message
- Steps to reproduce the bug
- If the bug is a visual defect, attach a screenshot
- If the bug is a crash, attach a backtrace if possible [see below]
How to get a backtrace
If the crash is reproducible, follow the steps to obtain a backtrace:
Install debug symbols for gnome-control-center.
Run the program in gdb [the GNU debugger] or any other debugger.
gdb gnome-control-center

(gdb) run
Reproduce the crash and when the program exits to (gdb) prompt, get the backtrace.
(gdb) bt full
Once you have the backtrace, copy and paste it into the 'Comments' field or attach it as a file to the bug report.
Testing Unstable Settings
It is quite easy to test and give feedback about the development version of GNOME Settings. Just access https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/environments, get the latest version, download it, double-click the file, install and run.
Note that GNOME Settings Flatpak will only work if you are running the latest GNOME version in your host system.
