Hi @awilliams @logan_marshall Can you please let me know how you did this? I'm looking to change my username on this forum.

As the title suggests, when adding Teachers to courses on Canvas, it never seems to successfully create their account the first time. And it's only after an initial login attempt, before then deleting and remaking their account in the exact same way, that it works.
I've tried all of the following variations (all of which has been working fine for years, up until about 2-3 months ago):
Adding their raw email directly to the course as a teacher
Adding them through the admin console to send them an account creation email
Adding them through the admin console and manually adding a password/SIS
Adding them through the admin console and not adding them to courses until they try log in initially
Nothing has successfully worked, and it appears to be an ongoing Canvas glitch. The only remedy has been creating the account, wait for them to unsuccessfully try and login and receive the "invalid username/password" error, then delete their account and remake it (in exactly the same way).
Is anyone else experiencing this, or have a solution?

James (and @tdw ) thank you for your answers. After quite a bit of testing this was being cause by the page load time being too quick to process the javascript in Firefox/Safari. I put in a delay script in the javascript file and it now works great. Thanks again.

EDIT - the fix appears to be to delay Javascript for 1 second on Safari and Firefox. This now seems to work great with this delay and was definitely the cause. Hi guys, we're using a custom javascript to make page tabs, and it works perfectly fine in Chrome. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to function in Firefox or Safari while in Canvas - so I'm not sure why that would be different? I know Canvas can be a little hostile to some html but this appears to work fine in a jsfiddle (obviously simplified) in Firefox and Safari - it's only once in Canvas that it's not working, so it's clearly Canvas causing the error. Note that Jquery is being called - should I be manually calling in JQuery in the custom javascript file? Any help is appreciated!
