      Workaround

      Please disable the Sidebar Dark Feature by:

      1. Navigating to JIRA with this address http://YOUR.JIRA.COM/secure/admin/SiteDarkFeatures!default.jspa
      2. Disable this Dark Feature com.atlassian.jira.projects.ProjectCentricNavigation

      If the problem remains after removing the dark feature, some users may have opted to use the new Navigation mode through a banner suggestion, so we'll need to remove their opt-in directly from the database with the following steps:

      1. Create a backup of JIRA's database or an XML Backup from JIRA
      2. Shutdown JIRA
      3. Run the following query in JIRA's database: 
        DELETE FROM feature WHERE FEATURE_NAME like '%ProjectCentricNavigation%';
      4. Start JIRA
