Additional info

I think this might be a Chrome issue - feel free to close. Other browsers tested and working fine: Firefox, Qutebrowser. Can somebody reproduce?

Getting the same issue here. Works fine on Firefox, crashes on Chrome and Edge.

Chrome log below:

Crashes on brave too (which isn't surprising as it's chromium based)

I can confirm this on brave

It's unfortunately making the app pretty much useless for me. I'm happy with using planify but there's no webui

[JacobSussan]

Same issue, seems to be a VALIDATION_ERROR_DESERIALIZATION_FAILED error causing the renderer to abort.

Can confirm - Works in Firefox - Chrome browsers broken.

[overholted]

Can confim. All above are correct. Trying to drag a task in Chrome, Edge or Vivaldi crashes browser window. Dragging works in Firefox, though. Tried on 3 different Windows computers. Problem exists on both NextCloud 27.1.3 on self-hosted, manually installed Ubuntu 20.04 server and 29.0.7 on an up-to-date Cloudron server. All plugins are updated.

I cleared my browser cache and cookies. Closed everything, restarted my computer.
I cleared some disk space on my Cloudron server and increased the memory available to the app.
I stopped and restarted the Cloudron container as well as both the servers.

i have the same problem with the tasks app on chrome. In the dev tools console of chrome there is an error regarding the css style maybe this is a part of the issue? Just a guess

Edit: Checked it on Firefox and there is no such error.

[wglp]

like @suly520 I have 404 on 'tasks-Plus.css' and 'tasks-store.css' but not for 'task-main.css'.
Besides on the server:
./apps/tasks/css/Plus-CnHTUEFt.chunk.css
./apps/tasks/css/tasks-main.css
./apps/tasks/css/store-BZeWfrS_.chunk.css
Maybe a missing connection between the request URLs and those chunk files?

(Fails on Brave, not on Firefox)

[raimund-schluessler]

I can confirm, that Chrome crashes directly after the drag started. I think this is a Chrome issue, as it used to work in the past. I will check how we can work around this.

I think it is unlikely that this causes an issue. However, this problem was fixed in #2667 and will be included in the next release.

Second that: Issue of crashing tab remains after I applyed those changes to my local copy. Just got rid of the 404 in network console.

Did some tests with older versions of Chrome, seems it started to fail with versions > 128.x.x.x.
Last version which worked on my machine (macOS Sonoma) was 127.0.6533.100.
Also latest version 129.0.6668.71 shows "tasks" to fail.

[Uatschitchun]

Same with Opera (114.0.5282.21) using Chromium (128.0.6613.162)

[ostasevych]

Same with Brave 1.70.126 based on Chromium 129.0.x

[bertvorenholt]

Confirming the issue on Chrome 131.0.6778.24 (Officiële build) beta (64-bits)
Working fine on FF 132.0 (64-bits)
Both running on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

Does this happen to previous version of tasks or nextcloud? I've just noticed this bug today after updating nc from 27.x to 27.1.11. It could have been there already and I did not notice.

I use Tasks on murena.io (/e/ cloud) and at the moment they are using nc 28. The problem suddently appeard a while back to me and I didn't look at the version they where using back then.

[DimanNe]

Same issue for me... Any information on when it could be fixed?

[raimund-schluessler]

I can confirm, that Chrome crashes directly after the drag started. I think this is a Chrome issue, as it used to work in the past. I will check how we can work around this.

Again, this bug was introduced by Chromium / Chrome. So the proper place to report it is the Chromium project. I just tried with Chromium 121.0.6111.0 from 6 Nov 2023 where dragging a task works fine. With the a current version Chromium 133.0.6844.0 from 18 Nov 2024 dragging crashes the window. The best we can hope for from our side is that we find a workaround. The only proper solution is a Chromium fix imho.

And regarding the deleted comment from above:

Evidently not. Tasks has been broken for months. Not a good look. I'm reconsidering my recommendation for our company to use NextCloud because of this. If they don't have enough people to maintain the software when things like this happen then it's not enterprise ready.

I second this, but please replace Nextcloud / Tasks with Google / Chrome.
