It's happening on this site too. Could it be my internet connection?
hmm, I'm not having this issue.
What appears to be happening is that the server is interpreting an xhr (ajax) request as if it were a normal request. For example, when you go to "/simple_skin" in your browser, it's a normal request and gives you simple_skin inside the layout. But when you go to "view > refresh" in your browser, it makes a nearly identical request, but since it's ajax, it doesn't give the layout, it just refreshes the content of the card itself.
Why is this happening? I don't know, but my suspicion is that it's on the browser side. Are you able to reproduce the same problem in multiple browsers?
After resetting the browsers it appears to have been fixed. I guess it was just a fluke on my end.
Just kidding, the problem has started again. I'll try and test it on another internet connection. I'm not seeing anything coming through the console. I thought I had a 409 error, but can't reproduce it...
It's happening in both Firefox and Chrome.
I'm on a weak network that might have some content blocked...
Is this still happening? I've never seen this anywhere else.
If you see it happening again, can you go to some internal page (not the homepage so it's easy to find in the logs) and let me know when you made the request?
I still think my analysis of what the server is doing is right, I just don't have any idea why it's doing it. Why doesn't the server know it's an AJAX request?
