Error: The popup was closed (Sporadic)

[dcrockwell]

Hello, I saw two other reports of this problem, but neither other report seemed to address the popup working 9/10 times, and failing 1/10 times with "Error: The popup was closed".

When a failure occurs, I can trigger a new .popup("facebook") with no problems directly afterwards (again, with a 1/10 chance that it will fail a second time).

• Whitelist is setup correctly (as evident that the popup works 9/10 times).
• Always triggered by a user initiated click.

Will attempt to use the raw FB javascript SDK login method to see if it's an issue with Facebook or OAuth.io

The raw Facebook Javascript SDK's .login method works 100% of the time, so it seems to be an issue isolated to oauth-js.

For now, our solution is to revert back to using the Facebook SDK to call .login directly. Haven't tested with other services like Twitter, etc.

I don't know what changed, but now the error is happening 9/10 times or more.

The problem doesn't seem to affect OAuth for phonegap, or the Facebook SDK itself which authenticates 100% of the time.

The change that seems to have caused it to fail far more often is to use .login on MacOS while the browser is in fullscreen mode.

Something about it opening the login window in a tab causes it to fail over and over.

This problem seems strongly related to a fullscreened chrome in macOS

• Firefox does not have failures when fullscreened.
• Safari does not have failures when fullscreened.
• Chrome does often.

Exact same problem happens on Chrome on Android: "Error: The popup was closed"
