Two months later this issue still persists.

I suppose if you don't actually read the topics they might seem related at first glance.

Why has this issue been marked as a duplicate? The other issue is not at all related!

You convert data entered into a Google Forms document (probably into a Sheets spreadsheet?) into documents with filled form fields, a la mail merge? That sounds like data entry analyst work.

Reload error, cannot report bug

Google Docs Editors•7/3/2019

I tried to follow the directions from

this post, but the form linked in the post above is not accepting responses and my error knocks out the Help > Report a Problem menu item.

I receive a message at the top of the screen that alternates between "Reconnecting..." and "Trying to reconnect." every few minutes, usually more frequently the more editing I'm doing.

My console is flooded with POST net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT errors.

I have the full console log, but I have not included it in the screenshot for privacy reasons.

What I have tried:

Updating Chrome.
Clearing cache/cookies.
Accessing the document in an Incognito window.
Disabling all extensions/safe mode.
Troubleshooting my network. (It is a wired network with no packet loss.)
Copying the file.

None of the above have worked and I am out of ideas.

I am having this issue as well, on Docs. I am disconnected every few minutes (sometimes less than a minute between) and have to force-reload the page to continue working. Clearing cache does not help. Incognito does not help.

Constantly being forced to reload Docs when editing anonymously

Google Drive•5/24/2019

I have been editing a Google Docs document for the past few months, choosing to do so anonymously (via Incognito Mode), and every time I open the document for the first time, within the first few minutes I am forced to reload the document with the error message:

You have been signed in to another Google property from another tab. Please reload to access this document with the signed in account.

I also receive the message randomly while I am editing. This causes me to lose some of my edits, forcing me to waste time duplicating effort.

This error doesn't make sense because I only have one Incognito tab open, and isn't possible because I'm not signed into a Google account at all. I have researched the issue, and noticed it dating all the way back to 2014 in other Drive apps (esp. Sheets):

Ostensibly this issue was addressed in 2014 (and there are threads referenced within that no longer resolve), but I've been experiencing this issue every single day for the past three months.

Has there been a fix? A real fix?
