YouTube Music (Application) Version

First found on 3.7.4.0; Reproduced in 3.7.5.0

Checklists

What operating system are you using?

Windows

Operating System Version

Windows 11 23H2 (OS Build 22631.4751)

What CPU architecture are you using?

x64

Last Known Working YouTube Music (Application) version

No response

Reproduction steps

  1. Open the account menu (The menu that opens when you click your profile icon in the top right corner)
  2. Click "Help", "Terms and Privacy Policy" or "Send Feedback"

Expected Behavior

Opens the respective widget, page or interface without causing any issues.

Actual Behavior

For "Help": White window appears for a split second and then the app "crashes" with message "Cannot load YouTube Music... Internet disconnected?". Also clears the font and switches to what I assume is the system default.
For "Terms and Privacy Policy": the YTM page gets unloaded and the "Terms of Service" page gets loaded. This causes a full loss of state but doesn't fully require a reload as you can hit "Navigation" -> "Go Back". This also causes the top window buttons to be weirdly scaled.
For "Send Feedback": The send feedback widget opens with no way* to close it.

*I assume when you submit the feedback to google it would close the widget, but I did not attempt that.

Reproduction.mp4

@Simyon264 I think this issue is only reproducible in some regions (e.g. EU), I will investigate the issue further.

It most likely isn't, but it would be nice to warn the user as this does interrupt the listening experience.

Since I am able to reproduce this issue, what should we do?

Should we attempt to open those links in the browser instead of having them interfere with the app?

I would say either a seperate window or opening them in the OS Default browser.

Kind of how the "Impressum" button does.
