Hi,

1. Does this occur in previous versions?
2. Does the chatbot work actually?

Hello,

1. Yes it does. I tried every version up to 2.4.0 and it occurred in every single version.
2. I cannot confirm it because whenever I touch the drop-down menus (back-end, mode, preset, locale) or follow-up user input, app freezes.

2. Does the chatbot work actually?

I switched to wayland instance and drop-down menus are working. I tested the chatbot and I can say it works while the error continues.

Would you cd to the directory and ./SydneyQt-linux-amd64 instead of double click?

I did that and it gave me this error in terminal when I refresh cookies:
2024/03/12 19:53:45.826904 WARN [req] ignore empty proxy url in SetProxyURL

Same error in OS Windows 11 Pro

You need to sign in to Bing or Copilot, then export the cookies once signed in. Worked for me.

The error message should be changed to ask the user to sign in before exporting cookies
