Infinite load times on "My DSpace"

[pnbecker]

Describe the bug

We get user reports of infinite load times on "my DSpace". From what we hear this happens more likely if you finished one or multiple submissions without reloading the page in between. I tried to reproduce this on demo.dspace.org. So far I was able to reproduce it once when playing around with the workflow task filters. Unfortunately I have no clear path to reproduce it.

If you read this issue, did you run into the same problem? Can you describe what you did before? Are you a developer and did spot some code in my dspace that you thing might be the cause of this?

This is related to #3677

one question i have while digging around code that parses submission objects/data from the my dspace page -- what is the purpose of these deepClone calls in submission-response-parsing-service.ts?

  parse(request: RestRequest, data: RawRestResponse): ParsedResponse {
    this.dsoParser.parse(deepClone(request), deepClone(data));
    if (isNotEmpty(data.payload)
      && isNotEmpty(data.payload._links)
      && this.isSuccessStatus(data.statusCode)) {
      const dataDefinition = this.processResponse<SubmissionObject | ConfigObject>(data.payload, request);
      return new ParsedResponse(data.statusCode, undefined, { dataDefinition });
    } else if (isEmpty(data.payload) && this.isSuccessStatus(data.statusCode)) {
      return new ParsedResponse(data.statusCode);
    } else {
      throw new Error('Unexpected response from server');
    }
  }

I have a similar problem in DSpace 8.0, if i have created a new submission, right after the new submission if a click on Editing the new item i immediately getting an infinite load error.

Could the related PR (#3677) also solve my issue? (That PR has 1 approval and 1 pending reviewer maybe it is close to happiness :))

Thank you for the info!
