This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 10/12/2022. Description   If the modules or assignments page is not fully loaded and you click on the 3 dots / kabob menu for a module or assignment group it is non-responsive. This is particularly an issue for courses with a lot of assignments and modules. Expected Behavior   Instead, it should open the menu once the page has loaded Workaround   This is only happening for periodic loads so sometimes refreshing the page and waiting will resolve the issue until the next time the page is opened. Using an incognito/private browsing window is also a workaround Steps to Reproduce   Prerequisites: A course with a lot of modules and assignments Go to the modules page and immediately try to edit a module before the page fully loads. You may need to refresh multiple times for this to occur. Wait for the page to load and note that it still will not work.   Additional Info LS-3483 Known issues indicate notable behaviors that has been escalated to the Canvas engineering team.
