Sync overwrote local changes

Reported by sfch...@gmail.com, May 12 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.75 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
Immediately after opening Chrome, modify any of the settings quickly before sync is complete. For example, change the setting "On Startup" from "Open New Tab Page" to "Continue where you left off". When sync is complete, whatever change you made will be overwritten by the synced data from the sync server.

What is the expected behavior?
The synced data is not supposed to overwrite freshly-made local changes

What went wrong?
Local changes was overwritten by sync

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 49.0.2623.75  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

This is a side effect of sync engine delaying initialization at startup. Initialization is delayed by at most 10 seconds. Local changes to preferences made after this delay should be synced.

We are working on sync engine refactoring that will allow to track local preference changes since process start.

Still valid. Should eventually get solved by USS.
