Admin page menu & buttons not working

[ivanyord]

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Magento 2.1.0
2. Log in the admin panel
3. Try to click anything from the left admin menu and nothing happens, the menu is not expanding with the additional options. The Dashboard button is working always.

Expected result

1. When clicking the buttons there should be a menu expanding with additional buttons to navigate in the admin panel

Actual result

1. Nothing happens upon clicking a button

Additional info:

I've noticed that not all files/symlinks/fodlers are created in:

pub/static/adminhtml/Magento/backend/en_US/Magento_Ui/templates/

If I refresh the page (ctrl+R) the functionality is fixed but the on the next click the menu buttons become unresponsive again. I've put the Magento in developer mode and noticed the following errors when the issue persists in the system.log:

[2016-07-22 10:17:14] main.INFO: Cache file with merged layout: LAYOUT_adminhtml_STORE1_3d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e and handles : Please correct the XML data and try again. [] []

Has someone experienced such issue? Any ideas?

@ivanyord Unfortunately, I could not reproduce the issue as you described it. May you please advise if this problem still relevant for latest version of Magento2?
