Dashboards & Visualizations

Dashboard with dropdowns are not populating from the URL

We have a dashboard a user is having a problem with which I have been able to replicate some of the time.

They have a link to a dashboard with selected values in the URL, however they get a 'Cannot create search' error on one of the dropdowns since it doesn't populate with the value assigned to the field in the URL.  When using debug I can see instead of having the selected value the field name is there ex: form.product_label.  Of course, if you select a value from the product dropdown then it properly populates the dashboard.  It seems like Chrome the dashboard properly auto populates when using the URL most often.  

Since I have admin access and the issue happens for me about 60% of the time I don't think it's a permissions problem.

   The user has read only access to the dashboard.  A colleague of theirs supposedly doesn't have any issues but haven't been able to confirm what browser they're using.   The user, with the issue,  states they're using Chrome and apparently, it's not loading for them at all.  I've asked them to try refreshing the page which they state hasn't worked either  Since there's no actual search ran I can't inspect the job because there isn't one.

When checking console I can see this depreciation log.  Haven't found anything online to confirm if this would be the cause of the problem.

[Deprecation] Listener added for a 'DOMSubtreeModified' mutation event. Support for this event type has been removed, and this event will no longer be fired. See URL for more information.

My questions are if the Deprecation warning could explain why the dashboard isn't properly loading.  If that's not it, then what else could it be that I'm missing.

thanks
