This only happens when you visit a parent category, then click one of the subcategory links. If you go to the subcategory directly from the url or from the categories page, this does not happen. If you refresh the page, it also works as normal, so it’s something with the initial load from the subcategory links.

Hey David,

It seems related to the lazy loading.  
Are you able to reproduce this behavior every time?  
I can see you’re using Edge. Did you try with another browser?

I tested with Chrome/Edge, but no luck.

Thanks Arkshine, there must have been an issue in core that was just fixed, because after a rebuild everything is working properly again! Sorry, I should have tried that first.
