Dashboard - Waiting for Requests to load block the quick actions

[YohannParis]

While the dashboard is waiting to be loaded with Requests the quick action panels are not rendered/usable.

It doesn't look like a bug. As you can see from the recording, the side panel is populated before requests are loaded.
Since the service side panel is rendered with data fetched asynchronously, with slow network connection, it could take some time to get populated.

@jryu01 it is still a bug, the button should be disabled until the panel can be fully loaded, clicking on a button that does nothing is a poor user experience.
My point is the buttons can be priorotized to load before the rest.
Anyway, UI action should not be possible if not fully functional.

@YohannParis The content of the Start a Service panel isn't static nor it's dependent on the data loaded on the main page. Once you open the side panel (by clicking the button), it starts to fetch the data from the backend and populate the panel. I think the issue here is that there's no indication the side panel is currently loading. Proper approach would be displaying a loading wheel in the panel to indicate that data is loading if we want to have a better UI.

At the end it's your issue, you can solve it as you see fit, and let @ThomasKapler make the final UX decision.
