I recently updated my bootstrap module to 7-x.36 and now the admin menu disappears after I log in. Upon login the menu is visible but as soon as I go to another page the menu disappears. I tested this by changing my theme to bartik and sure enough the menu did come back as expected. I was running version 7.35 previously and everything was working as expected.

  1. This is a widely known and very old issue with admin menu.
  2. You can disable this "feature" (although some may consider it a bug, I do) at admin/config/administration/admin_menu.
  3. Using Bartik as a "test" isn't really a "test". Bartik is inferior and buggy itself in so many ways. It's like comparing a toy watch with a Rolex.
  4. There's nothing, even remotely close, in the release notes that would be related to admin menu.
  5. A little research would have gone a long way here.

Thanks for feedback. I did look thru previous releases and the 7.x-3 but didn't see anything specific to my issue. Although the previous post did mention the admin menu disappearing its related to the client side cache. I'm still in dev mode so call cache controllers are disabled. Again the menu was working perfectly in 7.35 just odd the new version is causing this to happen. And your right the release notes doesn't say anything about effecting the menu. I think for now I'm going to roll back that commit and see if I can do some debugging.

The Admin Menu caching isn't related to Drupal cache, at all. It's client side (i.e. browser) that does an AJAX request and then borks when something goes wrong in the request to the server. It's very, very, very annoying and is best to just leave disabled.
