Copy and paste logs from the command prompt

Thank you for your help @bsclifton and @NejcZdovc , interestingly i got 3 separate log files out of these, i’m putting them all here. Log0: https://pastebin.com/iuTFs836 Log1: https://pastebin.com/6gWf3hJW Log2: https://pastebin.com/Wpu085WW What kind of problem have i gotten myself into šŸ˜„

@NejcZdovc Brave updated today and it only asked to reauthorize my uphold, everything is set back up now. Thanks for the background fixes!

Windows 10. I have just realised that the reason I had to kill the process is because I had a Chrome app installed on Brave that was opened in another window, so closing the browser didn’t end the process. My bad.

I am getting the same problem, using latest version. I was creating a wallet, wrote down my passphrase, then on the next screen where you have to select the words I found they were not all on the screen. I couldn’t scroll, so I refreshed the page. The words disappeared. After that the page didn’t work so I came out and went back in. Now I am asked for a password, which I can remember, but when I continue it just returns to the password prompt. Recovery using phrase also fails. I expect you could reproduce this. We need a way to delete corrupted wallets.

No errors in the console. I’ve already checked and would have posted it if there were any. If you want, You can join via AnyDesk and have a look by yourself.

@paulwaldmann got it, apologies. I cannot reproduce but I will continue to look in to this issue.

@paulwaldmann thanks for reporting! Restore flow should work correctly now.
