[Bug] Hide Menu = ON for Project Members causes blank dashboard

Additional testing results:

After further investigation, I found the following:

  • Changing $loadAttempts from 300 to 10 did not resolve the issue
  • The bug occurs regardless of the $loadAttempts value
  • Dashboards with native widgets (gauges, charts) load correctly with Hide Menu = ON
  • The bug is specific to dashboards with custom HTML/JS widgets
  • Tested CSS injection via JS snippet to hide the menu visually — works when Hide Menu = OFF, but when Hide Menu = ON the dashboard still renders blank
  • The issue appears to be in how the platform initializes the DOM/Angular scope when Hide Menu modifies the layout before HTML widgets are loaded

Confirmed workaround: Hide Menu = OFF + direct dashboard URL as bookmark.
Historical context:

According to the Platform Version 3.4.0 changelog, two related features were introduced in November 2021:

  1. Hide Menu option for members
  2. “Opening restricted link will redirect to the target url after login”

Both features appear to be broken in v6.5.14, suggesting these are regressions introduced in a later version. The redirect after login also does not work — members are redirected to a blank /console/dashboard instead of their assigned project dashboard.
