[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

Can we get a reverse regression-window?

Comment 7

[Duane Dixon [:ddixon]]

Issue DOES occur in the latest Flame 2.1, 2.2 build (Shallow Flash, tinderbox eng., 319 MB memory). 
The reproduction rate is intermittent (around 2/10).

Actual Results: Opening "Mozilla Project" tab opens a page that defaults in a foreign language.

Ted, can you try to see whats going on here?

Comment 9

[Gregor Wagner [:gwagner]]

Why did we block on this?

I think in triage QA confirmed this to be a regression and its ugly for a foreign language popping up when viewing in English.

According to comment 4 its not a regression since the feature didn't exist before.

Sorry, I meant regression within 2.1 where this might have been working before (could be worng here as that was a comment noted in triage). I am fine to un-block it if you think this isn't critical or we could get someone else's(product,UX) opinion if unsure :)

In case it matters, the language that pops up when you click on the link is Italian.

For me at least, which is different than the screenshot.

This issue occurs on the earliest KK 2.1 build

[Michael Henretty [:mikehenrty][:mhenretty]]

Unblocking. Not a regression, edge case, repros only 2 out of 10 times.

Comment 17

[Ted Clancy [:tedders1]]

I did a build using the specified gaia and gecko versions, and I couldn't reproduce the problem. I got the English-language page 10 out of 10 times.

Is it possible this was a glitch on the server side?

When you hit a no-repro you have to restart (or maybe even factory reset) to 'try again' - the bug will not repro after a no-repro by just closing the page and re-selecting the link

Comment 19

[Ted Clancy [:tedders1]]

Hmmm. I started resetting the phone between attempts, and I saw the German page twice in four attempts. One time, there was a header saying "Would you like to see this page in your language?".

I haven't seen the German page since then. I've tried about 20 times, including two re-flashings of the device. Odd.

Comment 20

[Joshua Mitchell (Inactive)]

Ya, Marcia saw it in Italian (comment 13) and when I saw it I'm pretty sure it was in Russian every time. Not sure why, Russian was certainly not anything my phone was set to recently and not my go-to language if needing to change from English.

Comment 21

[Ted Clancy [:tedders1]]

Putting this back since it's no longer a blocker.
