The function equals has bug when operand contains non-ASCII?

As the video. I have two menu items, Count(计数) & Time(计时).

In English mode, I can select Count to choose from 100 to upper and select Time to choose from 1 to upper.

However, when I switch language to Chinese, the two items are the same(the pickers are both Time pickers). Why?

I don't own a physical device that supports Chinese, so I have no idea about the actual running status.

The mention of Menu2 in this thread is completely misleading. The menu items are picked based on position (where you tap for a touch device or the centered item on a button device). The issue is with the…

APAC and ROW devices are different HW and Part numbers, You can't add Chinese to a ROW device.

Yes, I know that.

Yes, I am sure it is a bug about the function equals. Maybe the function hashcode inside the String doesn't support a non-ASCII character.

It's easy to try in the sim. There are lots of threads about this.

Here's simplified Chinese with Gregorain Info.

Notice the characters aren't Chinese, and I suspect that in the case of menu2, without the font, english is used.

Guess you're missing my point.

When you select "Simplified Chinese" in the sim, is it expected to work or not? If not, what's the point of having the option? Just so it can work half the time? Every time something doesn't work, the answer is gonna be "you can see for yourself it doesn't work", "you can try it on the real device" or "you can read about it in the forums"?

Still doesn't answer my question about how/why Menu2 would be expected to fail in this situation. Unless ofc the implication is that you don't expect anything other than English to work properly in the sim.

Did you even watch the video or read the description? The menu text is displayed fine, the problem is that when the 1nd menu item is selected, the 2nd subitem is chosen (when the language is Chinese). When the language is English, the 1st menu item correctly takes the user to the 1st subitem.

In the screen shot, notice no Chinese fonts. Maybe that can change based on a system pack loaded on your pc/mac. But that could be why menu2 is in english.

Again, you did not read the description or watch the video, which explains why your response has nothing to do with the problem. If you watched the video you would see that the text is in fact rendered with Chinese characters when the language is Chinese.

The problem is that the OP has a Menu2 with two Items:

Count, which when selected, takes the user to the "Count page"

Time, which when selected, takes the user to the "Time page"

When the language is English, this works as expected.

When the language is Chinese, both Count and Time take the user to the "Time page"

That looks like it's a bug in the app. If the user could post the code associated with adding the menu items for Count and Type as well as how things are handled in the menu delegate,

Hey, take a look at the unit test I posted

How to inform the official developer of it?
