Issue

  • Control Menu is shown without styles when navigating from a Control Panel page to a page configured with a custom theme and SPA is enabled.
  • Refreshing the page fixes this issue temporarily until the next problematic navigation.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2

Resolution

  • The root cause of this issue is that the custom theme has changed the original value of the attribute lang in the root tag html:
    <html class="${root_css_class}" dir="<@liferay.language key="lang.dir" />" lang="${w3c_language_id}">
  • If this attribute is removed or modified, then the Liferay SPA module lacks the information to detect a language change, leading potentially to not load some permanent CSS resources.
  • In order to solve this issue, make sure the value of the attribute lang is present and set to the provided variable ${w3c_language_id}.
