@leocg Ok? And then what? If you click on the avatar and switch it just opens in a new tab rather than change in the sidebar.

@Tornelo Change the account in the new tab and it should change on sidebar too.

Kinda similar to all other services available on sidebar.

@leocg Sorry, it doesn't. If you click on the avatar in the sidebar, it offers you all the Google accounts. You select the correct one and click - this opens the Google calendar with the selected account in the new tab. While the sidebar remains unchanged. How do I propagate it back?

@Tornelo It's probably bugged then.

Sidebar pages can't redirect from one domain to another. Doing so either shows an error page or opens the link in a new tab depending on the situation. It's possible that's what's happening here. It might be possible for Opera to fix it, but not sure.

What you might be able to do right now is goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type google.com in the search field and click "Delete displayed data" to log out of Google and clear its storage. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "Cached images and files" for all time.

Then, in a tab, sign in to Google with the account you want. Then, open up the Google Calendar or Gmail sidebar and click its reload button. That might work.

That's how Google Calendar works. Even if you open it in a regular tab, if you try to change the account it will open a new tab with the new account.

@leocg So what? Doesn't mean this is how the extension should work! Such behaviour makes sense for tabs but not for this. You should be able to sign out and sign in with an account of your choice. Same as you do with other extensions.

@Tornelo The page in the panel is just the page you'd load in a tab, so the current behavior is not surprising. With some work, Opera might be able to work around the issue though.
