The simple fix for me this was to go ahead and apply a date filter in the report. This way when the dashboard renders it uses that filter on initial load. So, I just used opened = today to limit the amount of data pulled on load. It was pulling all the incident records, now it just pulls today, and I can adjust the interactive filter with no issues.

 I had this exact same issue and was able to fix it by adding two lines to the UI Macro.

1) Open your UI Macro, which in my case was a copy of interactive_date_filter_norsk.

2) Search on the following line (which in my case was at line 816): 

        var fromSelectBox = $j("#" + uuid + " .fromSelect");

3) After the line found in step 2 above, insert the following two lines:        fromSelectBox.val("Yesterday@javascript:gs.daysAgoStart(1)@javascript:gs.daysAgoEnd(1)");
setTimeout(handleChangeSelection,100);

4) Save the UI Macro, and then refresh your dashboard page.   The "Select Date" box should now default to "Yesterday".
