Problem

If the name of the branch is specified as of the following format, the context menu on the branches page does not behave as expected: <.*>. The behavior is different if the characters between the < and > signs are numeric-only.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a branch on any existing repository, naming the branch: <something> or <1234>
2. Navigate to the Branches page in the repository
3. Click on ... to access the context menu (attempting to delete the branch)

Expected results

• The context menu is displayed and operations can be performed

Actual results

• If the branch name contains numeric characters only (e.g.: <1234>), the context menu is not shown at all
• If the branch name contains numeric and string literal characters (e.g.: <something123>, the context menu is displayed in the top-right corner of the browser tab, instead of the expected location

Workaround

• The workaround is to delete the branch manually from the command line using the corresponding git commands (characters < and > will have to be escaped).
• Avoid using special characters in the branch name
