Inconsistent UI: issues disappear when switching tabs (Epic/Sprints/Backlog)

Rejaine Lima

Hello community folks,

I’m experiencing a highly inconsistent UI issue in Jira Software Cloud that is making the board unreliable to use.

What’s happening

Issues (Epics and Tasks) appear and disappear depending on which tab I navigate to. The same sprint and project show different data across views, even though no changes are made.

Specifically:

  • Issues are visible in Backlog and Active sprints

  • When switching to Timeline or back again, the same issues disappear

  • Returning to the original tab sometimes shows them again, sometimes not

  • At one point, an entire sprint showed “0 work items”, even though it previously contained ~20 issues

  • The behavior is inconsistent and non-deterministic

Tabs affected

  • Backlog

  • Active sprints

  • Timeline

Expected behavior

Issues assigned to a sprint or epic should remain consistently visible across all Jira views (Backlog, Active sprints, Timeline), unless explicitly filtered out.

Actual behavior

Issues randomly disappear and reappear when navigating between tabs, without any filter changes.

Environment

  • Jira Software Cloud

  • Company-managed project

  • Browser: Dia and Chrome have same problem

  • OS: macOS

  • No custom filters applied (Quick filters off)

  • Reproducible consistently in this project

Evidence

I’ve attached link showing:

  • Issues present in one view

  • The same sprint showing empty or missing issues in another view

  • Inconsistent state after switching tabs

This makes sprint and tracking unreliable, as it’s impossible to trust what the UI is showing at any given moment.

Could you please investigate whether this is:

  • A known Jira Cloud UI regression

  • A project configuration issue

  • Or a caching / frontend sync problem

  • how to fix this

Thank you,
Rejaine

Hi @Rejaine Lima 

Welcome to the community.

Can you try another browser or incognito window? If all works fine, clear your cache and cookies.

Also check for browser add-on they can cause strange behaviour as well.

Today just stopped. I don't know why yesterday it was inconsistent like that. I did try Chrome and incognito. I am not sure if it was because it was a new site and new project and things were slow...
