Clementine restarts in Afrikaans after forced shutdown #7250

Open SheamusPatt opened 1 year ago

SheamusPatt commented 1 year ago

Our neighbourhood suffered a powerfail this morning. I had Clementine running on my desktop. When I restarted my PC and relaunched Clementine, I found that the User Interface had all switched to Afrikaans (not a coincidence that this is the first language in its language list, I'm sure). I assume it was Afrikaans because when I found the Language setting in Options, that's what it was set to. Fortunately I am familiar enough with the menus that I was able to find the Language setting and switch it back. However, the UI language doesn't automatically change when I do this. Not only must I close Clementine, I also need to forcibly kill the background clementine process eg "pkill clementine" before relaunching to successfully switch the UI language.

System information

Please provide information about your system and the version of Clementine used.

Expected behaviour / actual behaviour

Clementine should default to the platform language or, if it's been set in the UI Preferences, the UI setting. If the UI Language preference is set, then the UI should immediately change to that language.

Steps to reproduce the problem (only for bugs)

  1. Pull the plug on our PC and restart while Clementine is running. (Note - this is likely an intermittent bug and may take many iterations before the bug is exhibited).
  2. Go into Preferences - Behaviour - Language and change Language to a different one. Note that the UI stays in the original language. Close and restart Clementine. Still the same language. Run "pkill language" from the command line (or reboot). Now the new language will take effect.

Just noticed that other settings I'd made have been reset as well. The "Rip CD" format is back to .ogg (I always rip to .flac) and the directory is set to my home directory rather than my usual one.
