Can you provide some more context about the issue you are experiencing? What `plugin menu` are you referring to?

Yes I'm seeing the same issues with plugins. If you watch the URL you will notice that the `/` is removed the second time you hit it leaving just the `#`.

This will then NOT trigger the angular router and thus you get the blank page. I haven't explored solutions yet but there may be a way to tell angular to route to `/` and/or "nothing".

We don't see this with the built in plugins correct? Perhaps looking at what they did (like Discover) may revel something.

yes, don't see this in builtin plugin, its really strange, I cannot find any difference when we talking about the route.
