Thanks for reporting a problem you're seeing with NetBox.

I've tried to reproduce the behavior that your video shows, both on the public demo (which is now running 4.0.2) and on a lab instance running 4.0.1. I tried with current releases of Chromium, DuckDuckGo, and Firefox on macOS. Either the problem is local to your system, or I need more detailed steps to reproduce. Your video doesn't show the steps you took to get to the starting point, which may be relevant.

It's also worth pointing out that our bug report template specifically warns against using the public demo system to report bugs, because that system is always in an unknown state and it gets reset every 24 hours.

I think 4.0.2 fixed it, cannot reproduce anymore. Thanks!

No, spoke too soon. It works fine on the title page, but opening "Sites" page triggers the issue for me. I'm using firefox 126 on Arch Linux. Yeah, guilty of using demo.netbox.dev, but I'm not brave enough yet to upgrade my site :D

Okay, I poked at the UI quite a bit trying to reproduce this the first time and can't really justify going down a rabbit-hole figuring out exactly how you're able to trigger the problem behavior. Please record a new video that shows the whole browser window, including the URL in the address bar, and starts with a blank new tab, with no jump cut. If you think voiceover narration might help me understand something that doesn't come across as totally obvious, consider adding some.

@heroin-moose try disabling any browser plugins you have installed that might be interfering with the Javascript/CSS.

Appears to be the problem with old site data cached in browser, removing the cache through firefox's "Manage Site Data" helps.

Thanks for tracking down the cause @heroin-moose, I'll close out this issue.
