1185796 - Collection creation widget truncates collections to one app in Safari.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Admin Tools, defect, P3)

There are likely overlapping issues at play here, but here's the story...

For first time today I could not log in to /curate via Firefox browser (I would get the sign-in pop which was white and blank but that's all). This was the case for me all day, but given Tuesday's priority Egypt launch for FxOS devices, I needed to access /curate to add all Arabic localizations into all past editorial collections. 

So I turned to the Safari browser to access /curate, which allowed me to sign in. However I noticed that on Safari every collection I accessed only displayed one app. I later checked with others who could access admin in /curate on Firefox and they confirmed they could see all apps in any given collection, so it appeared me seeing just one app in every collection was a weird front end issue. 

So I proceeded to add Arabic copy to all collections, and then hit SAVE. After adding Arabic to all relevant collections (most of them) I noticed in the the EDIT view for all featured content that every collection I touched displayed (1) app in the parenthetical. 

This prompted me to check again with Durst, who could access /curate via Firefox and indeed, it appears every collection I saved Arabic copy in also saved the content itself to just one app. 

Can we restore the lost content?

It sounds like this was a bug with the way that the app selection widget works in Safari. We ascertained that the data was actually deleted. Remedial steps:

1) We're backing up the entire database as it is now.
2) We're restoring data for all `mkt_feed_*` tables from the 4/19 backup.
3) We're reindexing the feed.
4) We're flushing the CDN of all URLs prefixed with `/api/v2/feed`.

This just fixes the problems the bug caused, and does not fix the root cause.

We should find out the root cause, but since we know this works in Firefox, making it a P3.
