History Storage Location Incorrectly Cached When Creating New History

[jmchilton]

Minimal Example on usegalaxy.org

• Create a new history.

• Change the storage location.

• Create a second new history.
• Show the storage location popover. It has the cached older histories default.

A hard refresh renders the correct default for this second new history, so I'm fairly sure this is just some sort of caching problem.

This seems like a reactivity issue. This line decouples the reactivity from the history: https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/client/src/components/History/CurrentHistory/HistoryCounter.vue#L57

This can be fixed with a watcher, or removing the ref and solely relying on the history object as a source of truth, and updating that.

I cannot confirm or test this at the moment, as I do not have object stores set up locally.
