Description Samuel Padgett 2021-01-27 19:40:24 UTC 
I'm logged into to kubeadmin. Another person is logged in as kubeadmin in a different browser. When the other user changes the active perspective or project, the change is happening on my screen. The screen flashes and scrolls to the top when it happens. This makes console almost unusable.

While this might be an edge case in a shared development cluster, there are a few scenarios I could see where it can commonly happen:

1. Multiple users share the kubeadmin ID (or another cluster-admin account)
2. A single user has multiple tabs open where they want to work in different perspectives or projects

We should make sure that the active perspective and project from user preferences are only evaluated on console load.

We might also consider storing preferences for kubeadmin in localStorage since it's likely not uncommon for it to be shared account.

Video of the problem

I'm attaching a video of the problem. It's possible this only happens when impersonation is enabled. I was logged in as kubeadmin, but impersonating user `test` in one window.
