This may be related to #37661 or not (similar symptom at least)

I'm applying the retest-weekly label so we can check to see if this issue persists now that the linked issue is closed.

This should be retested tomorrow.

[johncschuster]

Bumped to have it retested. If it still exists, I will need to figure out which project it fits into.

Coming from the Road Map doc, it looks like it fits into #vip-vsb

This still happens for me in staging. I logged out and logged in before testing to make sure I didn't have bad data in the client:

The client keeps sending OpenReport requests in a loop even after leaving the room that didn't load.
