Dashboard with many widgets fails to display in IE11

[ArtyomBaranovskiy]

Hello,

I'm using Kibana 4.1.2 and some of the dashboards contain lots of widgets,
which in most cases works well.
However, opening the dashboard with 36 widgets on it is failing on IE11 with the following exception:
[$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting! Watchers fired in the last 5 iterations: ... (see the image)

I tried to reproduce this with a sample dashboard, putting the sample widget (area chart displaying no data) on it 36 times, however the issue didn't reproduce.
BTW, on my dashboard the exception is reproduced in both cases: with and without data in the widgets.
Some hints: when I try to replace the widgets from the original dashboard and reproduce the issue, I have to put 1-2 sample widgets instead of one.
Note: the issue is 100% reproduced using the original dashboard OR replacing the widgets on the original dashboard with 1-2 sample widgets.

Please, feel free to ask additional questions.

Thanks

Does this occur in other browsers? Can you export the dashboard and upload it somewhere?

@rashidkpc, we met this issue only in IE.
Here is the dashboard to reproduce the issue

@rashidkpc, are there any updates on this? Do I have to somehow remove "needs details
" tag, since I added them?

I also see this in IE 11 and Edge 13 using Kibana 4.4.1
Firefox simply complains about a long running script.
The dashboard works in Chrome.

It looks like this is caused by very long URLs in Kibana. Those experiencing this issue, if you have a lot of panels on your dashboard, this is likely the cause. You can confirm by checking the length of URL in the address bar - the issue we've seen is that when the content after the hash is longer than 2047 characters, IE exhibits this issue.

I am facing the same issue in IE 11

[pemontto]

This is making things very unusable for people that have no choice but to use IE11 because of corporate policy.

The current workaround is to remove some visualizations from the dashboard, so that the state in the URL (and thus the URL length) is reduced.

#3947 is the issue to track for a better fix.

[artyombaranovskiytr]

BTW, the same issue is reproduced in Kibana 4.5.1 even with the smaller amount of visualizations.
The things get even worse because any filter adds its part to the url: if we remove two visualizations to make the dashboard work in IE, then only one filter is allowed.

This is a big problem that we must address, but I'm going to close this particular issue in favor of #3947, as they are both the same underlying problem.
