## Summary

In our Discourse instance, on the backups pages, an arrow intermittently disappears.  
This appears to be a regression, as i didn’t notice it last year.

* * *

### Environment

```
•	Discourse version: 2026.4.0-latest (9776b417b8)
•	Hosting: self-hosted
•	Custom theme: default

```

* * *

## Steps to Reproduce

```
1.	Open the backups page
2.	Enable read-only
3. start backup
4.	Press “Logs”
5.	Observe the small UI glitch

```

* * *

## Expected Behavior

Consistent UI

* * *

## Actual Behavior

The arrow deosn’t appear in the open tab.  
It only appears after:  
• Navigating out and back in of the Backups page

* * *

## Video Reproduction

* * *

## Notes / Observations

```
•	No custom plugins or themes that could interfere
•	Intermittant
•	Affects the Desktop Browser session, aswell as Safari PWA

```

* * *

this appears to be part of a wider range of bugs where command line output requires navigation out of and into Logs section to update.

* * *

## Request

Could you please confirm whether there is a known regression affecting the backups page in builds since early last year, or advise on what subsystem to inspect (MessageBus, polling fallback, etc.)?

This looks like a “race condition” so I’m trying something else to detect when to show/hide the `>` breadcrumb separator.
