Homepage not shown when starting Dooble #9

In Edit - Settings - Display, you can enter a Home Page. This can be a local HTML file or an URL address like www.google.de.

When starting Dooble, the selected Home Page is shown in the address field, but the page itself is not shown. But if you open a new tab, all works fine and the Home Page is shown.

On Dooble Windows, it works.

I see this issue as well...

I composed the following comment about 15 minutes ago based on extensive testing. I can assure you it accurately described the problem on my system.

"The issue is misstated. The first tab displayed is always dysfunctional. If you wait for that tab to "think" it has loaded the page, you can then create additional tabs which always work. That first tab remains unusable until you open a site in one of the other tabs, and then try to load it in the first one. The page then loads OK and the tab becomes functional, allowing access to pages not previously loaded."

Rather than post this immediately, I decided to try it one more time, just to be sure. I'm glad I did because for the first time in over 2 weeks, my initial tab now works as it should. I use a massive blocked-domains list, reject all 3rd-party cookies, and have about:blank as my homepage. The only change since my tests is that I deleted dooble_cookies.db and temporarily started accepting 3rd-party cookies so I could determine which one my bank insists upon to let me log in. Once I identified the needed site, I created an exception and returned to blocking 3rd-parties.

Someone else had reported that deleting the cookies db file fixed his inability to access some site. I suspect that he was trying to access it from the first tab. If so, then dooble_cookies.db appears to be the locus of the problem
