My system is running in a Oracle Cloud instance;

Node-RED version: v1.3.5  
Node.js version: v12.22.1  
OS - Linux 4.14.35-2025.403.3.el7uek.x86\_64 x64 LE  
Dashboard version 2.29.3

Viewing the dashboard on a Windows PC with Google Chrome browser.

As of last night, I was deploying 'modified flows', but I've now switched to 'full deploy', selected 'Always show side menu' and initiated a deploy by moving a node.  
After a deployment, the side menu state had correctly changed, and can now freely switch between the 3 options, getting a 'deploy' prompt each time, even changing back to using 'modified flows'.

I am just 1 week into this whole NR thing:

NR v 1.3.5 on RPi  
Dashboard on Win10 Chrome  
Always had the menu displayed as I am still playing/learning  
Generally using Modified Flow Deploy

Only discovered my locked menu when reading about it here. After much button pushing, following my true scientific method of _"all the things at once"_ and finding a "fix"... it has never happened again.

No you didn't... My vote is "mass hallucination" 🤪
