Dash navigation bar & dropdown menu do not render

Dash Python
1

Hi All,

I tried to build a navigation bar with Dash.
Code running in laptop gives the navigation bar as I want (figure below).

dash_perfect
dash_perfect1372×307 13.4 KB

However, when I run the same code in one VM created in Google cloud (GCP), it looks like this:
dash_issue_1
dash_issue_1818×307 13.4 KB

Some how the navigation bar and dropdown menu are not rendered properly.

Could you please let me know what should I do to solve this issue?
Thank you,
