Bug#907815: gosa: UI behaves strangely, some data not saved

[Dominik George]

Package: gosa
Version: 2.7.4+reloaded3-6~bpo9+1
Severity: normal

I just installed GOsa² on a fresh Debian stretch.  After installing the
packages, I added the LDAP schema and ran the setup wizard.  Nothing was
modified apart from that.

The UI immediately started to behave oddly.  When switching through the
views, without doing anything else, at some point the values in the tables
vanish, or strange values (e.g.  the number 1) is displayed instead of,
e.g., group names.

Also, some things are not saved - adding a service to a server at first
shows the service in the list, but then the behavour of the UI as described
above starts, and the service is never added to the LDAP.

This happens in both the stretch and the stretch-backports version.
