Have you been purging caches after changes and making sure session files have been removed from moodledata/sessions/

So debug shows nothing?  How about FireFox tools?

Am really at a loss here! :\  Sorry! sad

Follwup ..... discovery ... after restoring a course that had legacy files successfully on a 3.7.highest sandbox, got an email from the 3.7 system on status of automated backups.

Error ... on the legacy course I restored without error ... missing was collapsed-topics.  Hadn't installed that course format in the 3.7 sandbox.

There was an item in config of collapsed-topics for "legacy files'.

So ... by chance ... does your server have any course formats that might need updating?

IF not ... then I truely have come to the end of the road here!

Success!! I reinstalled the missing format (even though it wasn't used) and for some reason now it is working as expected. Thanks so much for your help!! I hadn't received any errors in my logs, but it is working now. Thanks again!

So, like me, a missing course format caused issues with Legacy files viewing?!!!   Whoda thought? ... Answser: NO ONE!

One of "Moodle Mysteries" I guess!

But ... good!  glad to hear it!  Congrats!

Virtual Finger wag:   now get rid of Legacy before any upgrade! end_wag!

Thanks Ken! I deserve that virtual finger wag! I've already let the client know we will plan on making a transition early 2020.
Thanks again

How does one reverse a virtual finger wag?

Truth ... and a request ... if you discover a sure fire way to convince a 'customer' that Legacy Files are 'evil', please do let me know!  

Have been working on/with a customer now for 10 years and have not been successful in convincing.   With each update/upgrade performed I wonder when it's gonna 'hurt' and 'customer' won't be happy! (although 'customer' might listen next time).

So 'virtual finger wag' back at me! :|
