bug? - Settings checkmarks do not stick

Hi,

I'm running Pleco v3.2.43 on an lg g3, rooted but without other modifications, Android 5.0, build LRX21R.

Since I installed this version of Pleco I'm having problems with checkmarks in Settings that do not stick.

For example in

Setting > Definitiom Screen > + button for each dictionary

I ticked the option, and the plus mark shows next to each dictionary, but in the Settings the checkbox is unticked. The same happens for example with

Integrate E-C full text

or

Show history button

or

Sort containing by frequency

or

Sort beginning by frequency

With these last two, for example, now I don't know if the option is activated or not, as the checkbox always shows as unticked.

There area few more, but other checkboxes for different options behave as expected.

Anybody else having the same issue?

I already tried clearing the cache, deleting data, uninstalling and reinstalling both the dictionaries and the Pleco app itself, restarting the phone, pulling out the battery, etc. All my other apps behave normally.

We've had a couple of other reports of this but no clear pattern as yet. Are you installing Pleco on an SD card or in internal memory? Can you try installing it in the opposite one of those?

It's installed on internal memory. Unfortunately I don't have an sd card, so I cannot try the other way round.

As far as I remember the previous version didn't have this problem. I installed first from the PlayStore, now I'm running the apk from your website, I guess they are the same.

Any way to revert to the previous version? Are older versions apks available somewhere from download?

If you need me to do other tests let me know.

We don't have a comprehensive list of old version APKs anywhere - 3.2.42 would be at this link, though we changed so little in this version versus that one that it's doubtful it would have caused this bug. (if that does fix it, though, please let us know)

I'm facing a similar problem too. But seems like even though the check mark don't stay, but the settings seems to be applied. I'm running Android version 5 too. On 3.2.43.

No luck, as you thought, the checkmarks won't stick in 3.2.42 either.

@antonbond for some settings the checkmark does nothing for me, for example I cannot disable tone coloring in headwords, the option stays unticked no matter what I do, but the colors in headwords won't go away.

@antonbond - what device brand / model? Rooted? Same Android build (LRX21R)?

Have tried reproducing this on several Android 5 devices here with no luck.

This should have been fixed in 3.2.45 - was a bug specific to Android 5.0 and seems to have been in Pleco for quite a while (our guess is it had to do with an update to the Android Support Library).
