Splunk DB Connect 1.2.2: Java bridge server is loading, but why does the app start page keep refreshing continuously?

When accessing Splunk DB Connect, the start page for the app just keeps refreshing continuously. There are db connections configured and they do work, the bridge does appear to be running, I can run queries.

If I check the bridge status from the menu in run query, it does a similar behavior, just says loading and keeps refreshing. It's not possible to edit database inputs as a result of this, portions of those pages keep refreshing.

Any help much appreciated. Here are the particulars of the environment.

Thanks
