userMenu button stops responding to left-clicks after login since upgrading from 2.7.6 to 2.8.1

Hi,

After upgrading our application from Jmix 2.7.6 to 2.8.1, we started seeing a strange issue with the userMenu component.

Symptoms

  • userMenu intermittently stops responding to normal left-clicks

  • issue does not happen every time

  • middle-click and right-click still work

  • links (href) are still correctly resolved

  • issue appears after login/navigation lifecycle

  • browser does not report JS errors

  • routing itself still works

The behavior feels like:

  • Vaadin click listeners are no longer attached/responding

  • but native browser anchor behavior still works

Question

Has anyone experienced:

  • userMenu ignoring left-clicks after upgrade?

  • Vaadin click listeners becoming inert after login/logout?

  • known Flow UI lifecycle changes between 2.7.x and 2.8.x?

Any hints on where to investigate next would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

I would first try with File - Invalidate caches and then rebuild clean.

Kind regards,
