sophie.skI was just going to report this same issue :)
Following an update to 8.1.21, if you attach your admin toolbar to the side, you can't click on any of the top-level links to open any subtasks.
Attaching a screenshot. The styling has all disappeared (dropdown arrows, etc). Nothing seems to appear in the console or report log. I can still use the toolbar when it's attached to the top of the page, but find this is a very difficult way to access links.
We use the Adminimal Admin Toolbar module to theme the sidebar.

eme commentedIndeed. It is clearly linked to admin toolbar extra tools. I'll investigate this.

adriancid@eme this problem was introduced in this issue #2897309: admin_toolbar_tools module makes all pages uncacheable.
This is the commit: http://cgit.drupalcode.org/admin_toolbar/commit/?id=1dc1435

adriancidHi to @all, thanks for your patient and for report the issue with this problematic new version, sorry for this but the module was really working for me and for the others maintainers before the last release, even for other users that test the module before the new release.
As we can't reproduce all the issues reported in the new release version and as it seems that they comes from #2897309: admin_toolbar_tools module makes all pages uncacheable we have removed the code from the actual dev version and we need your help (as you can see the error, but we can't reproduce the issue) to know if now the module is working fine. So please install the latest dev version and provide some feedback about this issue.
As it seems that is a problem with the cache is better handle the problem in #2925501: Menu does not take changes into account (caching issue).
Our sincere apologies and thanks for helping us to improve this module so used by the community.
