Description
Description
When I click to another screen in the CP before the current screen has finished loading, it redirects me to /admin/install and gives a "template not found: install" error - but only sometimes. It may be related to Globals, but I haven't been able to pin down the pattern. It seems to happen in waves (3 or 4 times within 10 minutes, then not for a while), and it may only happen on my local Wamp install.
Steps to reproduce
- Load a page on the Control Panel
- Click on a menu item
- Before the new screen loads, click on another menu item
Additional info
- Craft version: Craft Pro 3.0.8
- PHP version: 7.1.9
- Database driver & version: MySQL 5.7.19

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Control Panel navigation sequence described in the issue on the listed Craft, PHP, and MySQL versions, including clicking another menu item before the current screen loads. Trace when navigation reaches /admin/install and produces the template not found: install error; done means the redirect no longer occurs during rapid navigation and the intermittent behavior is covered by verification.
