When merging PR https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/pull/1274 we broke the "View in Topology" functionality from the node details page. PR https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/pull/1282 addresses this issue for 18.0.4

I reopen this issue as it is not fixed (See ).
Having a deeper look at the code the problem is the CommandManager. It is responsible to update the menu bar for all topology ui in the following cases:
Menu item click
New/removed Operation or Command
Whereas the 2nd scenario works, the first does not.
It results in user 1 triggering a ui update on user 2's session.
This is what the original exception is expressing.

It looks like occurs when we try to add a component, which was previously attached to a container, to a new container.
The only component provided by any of the InfoPanelItems that is shared among many containers is the HudDisplay. All of the other components are created on demand.
That said, we should avoid sharing the HudDisplay components as well in order to avoid this.
When using the Topology UI sometimes when switching the topology provider an "Error occured. See Karaf.log" Notfiication is shown.
Investigating the log file, reveals this:
There seems to be an issue. This should be investigated.
