PVE 4.0 HA graphical weirdness under chrome

[dgeist]

I noticed something interesting after setting up my PVE4.0 (nonpaid with latest public updates) cluster with Ceph and software HA (which is working impressively well, BTW). If I add a client VM to HA monitoring, then select it in the web GUI, I cannot click-away from it. In other words, anything else I click on will result in the highlighted item reverting back to the view of that VM in about 2 seconds. I tried stopping and starting the VM and the browser to no avail. Only rebooting the node on which the GUI was being accessed seems to address the problem.

Here's the really interesting part: it only happens in chrome (win64). I attempted the same under a recent firefox build and had no issues. Any idea what might be able to cause a behavior like this?

Thanks.

Strange, the reboot fixed the problem entirely for this VM? And does this happens only with a VM which is newly added to HA?
Rebooting the node shouldn't change anything with such an issue, as it looks like a GUI issue. Refreshing the page with cleared browser cache does not help?

I agree it's almost assuredly a graphical thing. I need to do some example scenarios to narrow things down. Is there a reliable way to shut down JUST the ui on a given node in cluster+HA setup? I'd like to see if something as simple as (lack of) persistence of cookies, etc. across web server restarts would address the issue.
