Can confirm this. Been there since I bought dayZ in february.
History tab has been empty since forever. Even after exiting a server , "History" tab is not populated.

What I noticed from playing yesterday on the new patch - if you can't open doors and use stuff, just run around for 30secs to 1 min and everything goes back to normal.

Not 100% sure, but I think this happens when eating/drinking directly from the vicinity without putting the item in your inventory.

Played this couple if days on Experimental. Issue is still present.

This is on stable, latest version 0.44.12800 something

Issue is still present. Very little improvement if any.

@gump9005 ->
NO need to restart the game. If you get no servers in the browser, after several refresh-es, go to main menu and wait 2-3-5 min, so that router can sort out all packets flooding it.

You can monitor it with command prompt by pinging any site.
Usually when it gets flooded you'll see that packets don't reach the site you're pinging, resulting in a "Request timed out". Once you get a nice steady stream of pings then you're good to play again.

Restarting the game doesn't do anything. You just need to wait.. which is the annoying part.

Is this issue still worked upon?

It's a bug 100%. I noticed it 2-3 versions before. Had 2 weapons and decided to see what's in the lighthouse near Elektro. Swam and after 20-30 meters weapon in hand dropped. So i got scared to loose the gear and returned to shore. After some time ~10-20 secs gear was back on me.
