Is this only linux?
Still reproduces?

Comment 2

Yes, still exists, but may not have anything to do with restoring the session.
It also happens to me that just visiting the Outgoing tab, the Add button is disabled. Which is an error as the button should always be enabled, the command cmd_addCloudfileAccount is always unconditionally enabled.

If there is a timing problem (there are some setTimeout hacks in the code) then it could affect all platforms.
Also if it happens even without session restore, the problem is more severe.

OK, yes, the buttons seem to have change and there is now a separate "Add <provider>" button for each cloud service. I can't reproduce the problem anymore.
