Dashboard reloads every two minutes after 21.1.4 update

[CJ]

I recently updated to 21.1.4 and now my dashboard page reloads itself every two minutes or so.

Has anyone else seen this?

[Fright]

can you give more info?

No

For me its not reloading -  just jumping back to top after a few seconds

What Browser are you using

using Network Time widget?

[CJ]

I'm using Firefox.  I do have the network time widget on the dashboard.

It does seem to have gotten better after I fixed my NTP issue.

@CJRoss
yes the widget code looks very old with a huge backward compatibility tail. there is also scrolling to the top of the page on each data update from the server (so far I could not understand why scroll(0,0) was used) and page reload on different events
but it shouldn't have been update related imho

[CJ]

Not sure.  It kept resetting all of the graph widgets which was annoying.

But like I said, it appears to be working now.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Huh.  Okay.  That was probably it, then.

I assume the reason it wasn't happening before is because the time had drifted enough that all of the servers were unreachable.
