Expected behavior When I click on the dropdown link, the dropdown should remain visible until I click away or click on the dropdown link again.

What I noted is that when I click on the link, the link element gets a class of show added to it, the dropdown element gets a class of show added to it, aria-expanded changes to true, and the dropdown element also gets a new attribute/property: data-mdb-popper='none'.

Actual behavior On some pages, everything works as it should, as described above. On some other pages, first of all the dropdown element has extra properties/attributes namely: data-popper-placement='null' and data-mdb-popper='none'. When I click on the link element to show the dropdown, the show class does not get added to the link element, it also does not get added to the dropdown element and aria-expanded remains false. Instead, the dropdown element gets a class of 'animation' and 'fade out' and then disappears after a second.

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.) The dropdown is in a navbar based on the 'Basic Example' in this link
