Google Hangouts – Fix Window Not Opening Issue

google-hangouts

A particular conversation (with just one person) is not opening up. I can see that there are new messages and read the last line in the conversations list, but the window just won't open.

What I tried doing that didn't (obviously) work:-

  • Create a new conversation with that person (nothing happens);
  • Trying both the Gmail website as well as the Chrome extension;

Googling gave me irrelevant results. What can I do?

It started working again after I cleared my browser's cache, but I'm not so sure that the correlation here implies causation. Oh well, another 'heisenbug' (non-reproducible irritation king of bug)...
