Bug report: Collection name not refreshed after switching collection

I’ve noticed that when switching between collections in Specify, the displayed collection name in the interface is not refreshed automatically. The correct collection name only appears after manually refreshing the page.
This can be confusing for users, as the interface appears to indicate that they are still working in the previous collection.
Can you look into that, please? Thanks!

Same here

Hi @ZsPapp and @gnhmSD,

Thank you for your report!

This is not something we are able to reproduce when testing on production (v7.11.4) or in a previous version (v7.11.0 or v7.10.2.3) in our environment. Can you please share your system information so we can look into this further for you?

Feel free to send via email: support@specifysoftware.org

Thanks again :smile:

I also encounter this problem frequently. I don’t have time to try to reproduce but I think it’s somewhat related to “concurrency” errors that pop up when the user has multiple browser sessions/tabs open at once.
I don’t think I’ve encountered this issue when signed in in only one browser tab. @
@ZsPapp, @gnhmSD do you see this happen when signed in in only one tab?

Hi all and thank you for looking into that.
@bronwynscc You’re right, the attachment didn’t go through. :blush:
Our current version is: v7.11.2.1, but I also send the system information in mail in a minute.
@nfshoobs Good point. I couldn’t reproduce it while using a single tab only. (But I use multiple browser tabs quite frequently.)

Update: It’s not consistent. I could reproduce it signed in only one tab.

Thank you @ZsPapp and @nfshoobs! The additional context about this issue is very helpful.

I just opened an issue on GitHub for this, #7816. Please comment there or let us know if the behavior becomes more consistent with one tab open and we will update the issue for you.

Thanks again for the report!

FYI…. Currently, we’re not experiencing the problem in our setup (whether using Edge or Firefox, whether with many tabs open or just one) without having taken any steps to fix it…
