I am displaying a tab from the dashboard using a direct url in the form of [IPAddress]:[Port]/ui/#!/[TabNumber] ie. 10.1.20.96:1880/ui/#!/4 on Device 1, 2 and 3. I am displaying another tab on device 4. On occasion when updating a value on device 4, the system will change device 1,2 and 3 to the tab that is being used on device 4. I was able to see a change go out to all the devices in the debug info when monitoring the UI control node. Has anyone experienced this behavior? It only seems to happen after Device 4 has been idle for a while.
