Is anyone have trouble with the Bubble Link element opening up "about:blank#blocked"?

I have a link element on a page in a bubble app that im working on that references a text field within my database. Whenever I click on the link element and open up an external URL, the browser shows a blank screen with this text in the search bar “about:blank#blocked” I am using google chrome browser if that is any help. Any advice would be good. Has anybody else experienced this?

Best,
Adom

It sounds like you have popups blocked on chrome?

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, I do not have pop-ups blocked in chrome, so Its still confusing to me.

I had it with a dynamic link. When I click a second time it just worked…

I got this error yesterday.

it just happened to me, because the file upload field that was set to be the desintation url was blank.

Interesting. I’ll try my again and see if I it works. I wonder why the link is behaving that way in the first place though. This could be problematic if there 1 out of every 2 link clicks leads to a blank (blocked) page.

Thanks for the response. I am dynamically pulling the destination URL field from my app’s database; and I just double-checked to make sure that the field was not empty. However, the link still opens up to a blank page.

Were you able to fix the situation?

Is it an attached file and do the privacy rules allow you to open it?

Situation went away on its own after a bit.

I noticed it occurred at the same time I could not access my live editor (Which gave me the ‘we ran into a bug’ error message when I tried to access it (though I could get my dev editor) ).

After a bit everything resumed as normal.

But it definitely caught my attention bc I have never seen this error before, after years on Bubble. When I saw this thread I thought I’d chime in.
