In the new UI, what is the equivalent to “Reporting: → Show log” under a specific job in the old UI? I expected it in the 3-dot menu of a job in the new UI, but no luck.
Same question for the old “About → Show log”.
Documentation only tells me about how to send reports, but not how to display them in the new UI.
While the taskbar icon indicates an error (white x on red) I see no signs of an error on the home page of the new UI, let alone a link to details.
In the bottom right, you should see a small bell icon. That turns red if there are errors, so it should stay red if the tray icon is also red.
It should be a bit more “noisy” I think.
There is indeed a Log entry there, maybe you need to scroll?
We are looking into different ways to do the menu, because it is a bit clunky with so many actions in there.
Similarly, expand the backup with the arrow, then click “Show log …”
OK, I’ll check back there next time. I agree it could be more “noisy”.
Indeed, there is. But on Firefox since I didn’t get a scrollbar in the menu, it didn’t enter my mind I should try to scroll (with mousewheel).
In Chrome the menu is always placed far enough from the right window border to display the scrollbar.
hmmm… which arrow do you mean? I have three buttons to: “Start”, then the pencil to edit and the 3-dots. That’s all I can do with a backup job.
If question was new UI equivalent, About → Log.
job menu bottom falls off bottom of screen and is unreachable even with scroll #366
might factor in near display bottom. A workaround is change order:
- I knew it was simple …
changing order doesn’t make any difference for me. The menu is always locked to the right border of the FF window, and hence the scrollbar cut off.
You can sometimes scroll without the scrollbar, e.g. with up and down arrow, or using a mousewheel or possibly two-finger trackpad scrolling. I’m surprised that getting the job away from the bottom doesn’t fix this. It does for me, but YMMV.
In good news, today’s 2.2.0.101_canary_2025-11-20 seems better on this so far.
The Waterfox browser has the same issue, where the overflow menu is shifted to the right and the scrollbar is cut off, as shown in the image shared by Eni_Ki. Waterfox is currently based on Firefox ESR 140.9.
I tested the latest Firefox version 149.0, and the issue seems to be resolved in the browser. It shows the overflow menu the same way as Chromium browsers, where the scrollbar is visible.
A (hopefully) simple mitigation for this would be eliminate scrolling in the overflow menu. Show the Reporting section without scrolling.

Firefox ESR release cycle
suggest to me that ESR release may be up to a year behind on new features.
Fortunately there was also a Duplicati code change to adapt to a missing one:
New UI: Context menu opens outside the frame #423 has discussion about it.
Question then becomes how to get that fix in something safer than a Canary?
https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati/blob/release/beta-2.2.1.0/Duplicati/Server/webroot/ngclient/package.json
looks like it got ngclient 0.0.207 and is a Stable release candidate described at
Release: 2.2.1.0 (Beta) 2026-03-05
https://github.com/duplicati/ngclient/blob/main/package.json
0.0.207 was Feb 20, so it seems like it should include the fix claimed on Feb 16.
Since the non-ESR Firefox already has the needed feature, the only people who can test workaround for browsers lacking it are those on one. Care to test it out?
explains why 149 is OK, and actually 147 was too (if I’m reading all of this right).
Thanks for the info. I tested 2.2.1.0 (Beta) and it looks good in Waterfox 6.6.10, which is based on Firefox ESR 140. The overflow menu looks the same as it does in Firefox 149 or Chromium 146.
For reference, here is the Firefox ESR release schedule. Note that ESR releases based on version 153 will be available starting in July 2026, and the version 115 and 140 branches are expected to be retired by October 2026.
