I often get this bug on the latest cockpit version. The page goes blurry and blank whenever I click anything to start adding an asset. It blocks the page and I have to refresh the page to get it working again and then i lose all my data entries. It seems to happen often on first load. I can’t identify what triggers it, it happens all the time.
Works fine for me using 2.8.3, does the blur still appear when you’re using a fresh install of that? If not, then we can find out which version of Cockpit is causing the issue.
It was downloaded from the website just a couple of weeks ago, but if you want me to confirm how do I identify the cockpit version. It’s being hosted with php 8.2 on ubuntu nginx
I found the version. The cockpit version is 2.8.5
Okay, can you downgrade to 2.8.3 to see if it works and then upgrade to 2.8.4 to see if their error is still in that version? Based on what version has the error you can report it on GitHub and the maintainers will probably fix it and then release a new version - in the meantime you can use a lower version that works for you, shouldn’t be missing too many features.
If I’m not mistaken I’ve seen this error in previous versions and thought to bring it to attention. It seems very random not always replicable. Something triggers the blurred cover up but I don’t know what.
Yes, it might be a problem with registering new modals as the top-most z-index using Javascript. It needs to modify the z-index of both the blur and the new modal but it fails to get the correct z-index amount for the new modal but gets the correct one for the blur, throwing the layers off. I used to see the issue in 1.8.4 but went away after some time, so I’m not sure what the solution is.

Yes I found it again on the lates version and checked console log. Here’s what it shows once I clicked add an asset:
