Bug description
The Online Accounts application crashes when trying to add a Google, Microsoft, Flickr or Foursquare account. This occurs as soon as each respective entry under "Add an account" is clicked.
Steps to reproduce
Run cinnamon-control-center. Click "Online Accounts". Click "Google". Application will immediately close.
Expected behavior
I expect to be prompted for my account login information.
Additional information
Running this from a terminal produces the following output when the application crashes:
EGLDisplay Initialization failed: EGL_BAD_ACCESS
EGLDisplay Initialization failed: EGL_NOT_INITIALIZED
Cannot create EGL context: invalid display (last error: EGL_SUCCESS)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This is a fresh install of Linux Mint. I have ensured everything is up-to-date.

Research direction
Start by running cinnamon-control-center on Linux Mint 21.3 and opening Online Accounts, then reproduce the crash by selecting Google or another listed provider. Use the reported EGL errors and segmentation fault as the initial diagnostic evidence; done means the account-login prompt opens instead of the application closing.
