Re: Feature test regression failures

I have seen this issue as well.

Ashesh, this issue is related to the loading of the tree node data, not
loading of code, correct? Each time the user expands a node triggers an
ajax request to fetch the child nodes. There are probably some performance
tradeoffs to loading that tree up front.

But, there are ways to solve this issue without doing that. We could use
callbacks/promises to wait for things to be loaded before rendering the
node in an enabled/expandable state. It might be helpful to use a one-way
data flow redux pattern to manage the state and rendering of the tree nodes.
