This issue cannot be reproduced manually since it's related to a javascript method getting a setting value.
With automated testing I managed to get a reproduction rate of 1 out of 20. Due to it's low reproduction rate I am not sure if this issue is present on other branches or when trying to get other settings.

Attached is a section of the Jenkins logcat from when the test was running.
At timestamp 03:04:45.758 is the getSettings call that fails, following that a few errors are present which might be related to this issue.

Comment 1

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

The reference to a JS API call in settings sounds like this might be a regression from the settings API work done in 2.1.

Kyle - What do you think?

Could be bug 1061510, could be bug 1064228. Hard to tell which, but both will be blocking-2.1+, and one of them /should/ fix this. I'll take assignment and request qa once those make it to aurora (which will be after we resolve bug 1062255, but that's coming along decently now).

[Kyle Machulis [:qdot] [:kmachulis] (INACTIVE)]

All dependent bugs are landed to aurora as of today, so marking qawanted for v2.1 fix verification.

Comment 4

[Kyle Machulis [:qdot] [:kmachulis] (INACTIVE)]

Whoops. That should be verifyme since the patch already landed.

Comment 5

[Robert Chira [:RobertC]]

I checked the test that was failing with this issue and it seems to have been resolved.
