This issue is reported before and we decide to close it because this doesn't happen on staging and product.

@dukenv0307 I am not sure I follow here it seems Applause was able to repro in staging

[dukenv0307]

@mountiny I just tested it again and the issue isn't reproduced in prod and in staging.

@dukenv0307 @mountiny It is reproducible, we have to force reload the webpage (Ctrl + Shift + R). Force reloading (also called Hard reloading) clears the cache before reloading the page.

@thienlnam gonna let you handle this one and decide if to solve this, feels quite edge casey

[thienlnam]

Yeah I don't really think we need to address this, let's keep it closed
