Empty "Dashboard 2.0" sidebar when widgets exist in locked and unlocked flows

Current Behavior

For more than 1 month, the sidebar to organize and move dasboard items is blank.

Expected Behavior

I am used to see an interface by which to view of your pages, themes, groups and widgets.

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Environment

• npm version:
• Platform/OS: iOS and Windows
• Browser: Chrome, Firefox and Edge

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

Check for errors in the browser developer console.

I also suggest upgrading node red (the latest is 4.1.10) just in case it was an issue in the core that has been fixed. This is not likely though.

Thanks for that advice! I do get following error when I change to the Dashboard 2.0 tab:

Uncaught Error: Cannot modified property 'order' of locked object 'ui-text:c69797d9862c0403'

The problem occurred, because I had blocked some flows (to prevent accidental modifications). Unlocking all flows with Dashboard elements solved the problem.

However, it would be great if this error from the browser developer console could be caught or elements in locked flows ignored.

I see what the problem is. If there are widgets for a dashboard group on two editor tabs, and one of them is locked, then making a change to the order of the widgets in the group in the unlocked tab causes the problem, probably as it requires a change to the configuration of the widget in the locked flow.

Could you edit the title and description of this issue to indicate what the problem is please?
