deleting all the past versions' cnfigurations in $HOME/.config/pycharm-community/ and deleting the github.xml & gitlab.xml fixed it for precisely 1 session.

Then #PyCharm was broken again.

@jetbrains, #plzfix #PyCharmCommunity...

#thx

Anyone know someone at #JetBrains to report a #PyCharm #issue to?

Basically it's a #softlocking that happens on the #snap version of #PyCharmCommunity / #PyCharmCE that makes it somehow half-forget #credentials like #GitHub, #Gitlab, #Codeberg, #BitBucket, #Gitea, #git etc. and not allowing to just delete & re-add them as the settings saving just becomes unresponsive.

• Mind you this isn't with like dozens of accounts - just one on each platform - and it's not easily fixable (or at least not in a good way by manually yeeting the #XML files for said logins from $HOME/.config/PyCharmCE****/... and randomly coming back after a few days or weeks.

Whether this also conflicts with #SettingsSync which should only sync #configs, not #credentials (and AFAICT doesn't!) is also a question I can't confidently answer.

• Needless to say it's really annoying, espechally at work and is the main reason I've not considered paying for JetBrains' products as of now!
