When clicking on a user’s name at the top of their profile page, the entire window turns white or blank, disrupting the user experience. rishabh was able to reproduce the issue on Firefox (MacOS). joffreyjaffeux confirmed that the team is aware of the issue and initially planned to fix it in January. However, after additional reports, lindsey attempted to prioritize the issue. joffreyjaffeux later announced that the issue should be fixed by a specific commit.

I believe there is a bug. When you open the chat window and navigate to the DM’s tab, selecting a chat and then clicking on the user’s name takes you to their profile page. This profile page typically includes sections like settings and the windows tab. However, if you click on the user’s name again at the top of the profile page, the entire window unexpectedly turns white or blank, making it unusable. This behavior seems to break the interface, disrupting the user experience.

PS: I’m on desktop, and please sharing a snip for reference.
