All user comments seem to be about 3.10 but none about 3.12 (yet)? Is there any indication that this is still a problem in 3.12/3.13 code? In any case, a comment by a g-o-a maintainer would be extremely welcome on that ticket (if g-o-a has maintainers). Too silent. andre
The problem started occurring for 3.12 users several months ago, around April or so, then started occurring for 3.10 users more recently. I've seen at least three or four distinct bug reports for the same problem that haven't been marked as duplicates yet; I just picked one with a recent comment to suggest.It seems likely that there are multiple underlying bugs causing the same symptom (authentication dialog appears unexpectedly and rejects valid passwords). For instance, some users report that the authentication dialog always accepts their password on the second attempt (I think these are 3.12 users) while for me on 3.10 my password is never accepted. Other users report that disabling gnome-online-accounts and adding the account in evolution directly solves the problem, someone somewhere pointed out a particular Fedora release of g-o-a and says reverting that update resolves the issue (no I don't remember where I read this), g-o-a developers say it's an e-d-s bug, someone somewhere says it's only a bug with calendar.... I have no idea what's actually going on, it seems like a confused mess to me. Hopefully Matthew can sort it out now that he's found a problem.
