Impossible to convert xDai to Dai

[vinsg]

UPDATE
After more investigation, it seems the problem stems from when you switch from the main ETH network to the dai.poa.network. You need to be very careful and refresh the page when changing networks, otherwise transactions seems to be sent on the wrong chain resulting in all kinds of problems and stuck funds.

Could something be done to prevent such problems?

I have 0.20 in xDai with a metamask address. Using the bridge or inside the app, the transaction gets stuck forever.

The transaction hangs forever:

Looking at the console, it says the transaction is never mined:

Metamask version: 5.3.2
Network: https://dai.poa.network

Steps to repeat:

1. Create a new metamask account.
2. Visit xdai.io
3. Click "Receive"
4. Send 0.10 xDai from a burner wallet to the address displayed.
5. Switch Metamask network to the https://dai.poa.network network.
6. Click the arrow and convert the 0.10 xDai to Dai.
7. Send more Eth, Dai and xDai to the wallet.
8. Now the xDai funds are stuck and you can not send or convert them back to Dai.
   This only applies when connected with Metamask.

Your transaction was ok, it's just UI which stuck.
You can always monitor status of the bridge here https://bridge-monitoring.poa.net/dai/eventsStats

Bridge UI could've been maid to avoid this problem.
Please contribute, at least an issue, here https://github.com/poanetwork/bridge-ui/issues

There are two related issues:

1. (Reported in Metamask) Pending transaction from a side chain was executed on the mainnet #5762
2. (Reported in Burner Wallet) Exchanging DAI to Eth Exchanging DAI to Eth hangs #82

Fixed for me by #6044 on the Metamask side. Be sure to run the latest Metamask v.5.3.3.

Thank you everyone for your help and time.
