I am syncing a Windows 11 folder to Ubuntu (20.04). I am using staggered file versioning, and want to restore a previous version of the file on the Ubuntu server. I can see the previous versions in the dropdown list, and can use the keyboard to highlight the one that I want to restore, but if I then press Enter nothing happens. The mouse does not navigate the dropdown list at all - I can click on it to dropdown the list, but subsequent mouse clicks don’t act on the dropdown list - they act on the main part of the page. So if I select a previous version from the list using the keyboard, then click on it using the mouse, the dropdown list just closes. I’m using the Firefox browser. Any ideas why I can’t select the version to restore it?

Keyboard navigation seems glitchy indeed (both in Chromium and Firefox), however mouse does work fine for me here, also in Firefox. Can you test in a private window with no extensions enabled? If that doesn’t work either, are you able to test in a different browser?
Funnily enough things are actually worse in a Private Window. When I’m in the “Restore Versions” window, Filter by name doesn’t work, and I can’t expand any of the folders (using either the mouse or the keyboard). I’ll try installing a different browser. Is it possible to make the console available from another machine on the LAN? (I’ve tried opening port 8384 but still can’t get access from a different machine)
OK I just installed Chrome, and although it’s very slow to access the “Restore Versions” dropdown list, it does seem to work. Thanks

To allow remote access, you need change the GUI address from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0. You can do it in Actions → Settings.
The list can load slowly if a) there are a lot of versioned files in the particular folder, and b) the hardware, especially the disk, is slow.
