Every time I check something in the Dev Tools I get a red pop-up in the bottom left corner that says [object Object]

Any one knows what this can be?

It typically happens for me if the authentication token expires (the web app doesn’t validate the token before it tries to perform an authenticated operation and when it fails, the `[object Object]` error is the result). Very annoying but this issue has existed for a long time now so Athom is probably not able to fix it or at least able to produce a proper error message (or they just don’t care, take your pick 🤷🏼‍♂️).

You can open your browser’s developer console to see the actual reason.

Thank you, I guess I have to ignore it then.

If you force refresh (hold down the shift key and click refresh) the browser it usually fixes it.
