CrOS update reset preferences |
||||||||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionGoogle Chrome 67.0.3396.26 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) Revision de708ace5575abaacda89a3ae16cbad2cde45696-refs/branch-heads/3396@{#369} Platform 10575.22.0 (Official Build) beta-channel eve What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) upgraded to 67.0.3396.26 (2) saw the 'critical update' screen (3) device (eve) reboot once more What is the expected result? boot back to upgaded OS, with same preference I had set before the upgrade What happens instead? Some preference, screen resolution being the main one I noticed, were reset to default settings, not the resolution/settings I had (for a long time) before the upgrade. Previous upgrades did not have this issue. So this appears to be a regression.

I restarted my chromebook for another update today, update to 67.0.3396.49 (from 67.0.3396.41 - see issue 844498 for details) and the resolution was reset again.

The first resolution change was intentional due to the launch of a new feature that handles display scaling differently. However we received a ton of feedback due to this sudden pref change after the update. This led us to rethink the way we launch the feature. We plan to launch it again for the next milestone (M68) in such a way that users do not notice a preference change. In the meantime we also do not want the stable users of M67 to face the same bad UX as our beta/dev users did, so we had to disable it on M67. This disabling is what was noticed in #3. |
