I think the error should not be thrown in this way but handled silently instead. Showing Login form in the background works great but error is not catched.

Yeah @svobik7 you're totally right this is dumb. Here the login screen should show without the error popup.

Unfortunately this is a limitation with Next.js :( It shows this error overlay even if the error was caught by by an ErrorBoundary. Note: it only shows this overlay in development, not in production.

Anyone reading this, please go add a new comment in this Next.js discussion saying that you want this too.

Fixed in latest blitz
