why is menu title not render properly on FR935?

With ERA, there is an easy to understand stack trace,  Or the user can send you the ciq_log files from apps/logs on the watch

second screen (initial menu to select some options - where we see 'english' it should be 'Sets')

This bug was reported almost 5 years ago. Maybe it was never fixed :/. I'm pretty sure I saw this problem in a CIQ app on a real FR935 as well.

I have no clue why screen 2 is not displaying menu properly. i suspect whatever the reason is leading to app to crash.

My guess is the two things are unrelated

So according to the tradition there are a few options:

- you can comment in that bug report

- since it's an old ticket but still isn't resolved you can open a new one

- since it's an old device we all know it'll never be fixed any more as fenix5 is so old Garmin even removed it from the forum.

option 4: we could post a pithy comment on the original forum discussion topic from 2019 such as: "wow this still isn't fixed thanks for nothing garmin!!!!11!!"

option 5: we could reply to a completely unrelated forum topic (that happens to have "menu" and "fr935" in the title)

option 6: we could uninstall ciq from all our devices

#1 and #4 are the same IMHO

thanks for the context!

i'm still not sure if they are unrelated. because the init code is very basic. it read the value from the menu. no reason to make the app fail. but i will try to get more debug info.

frustrating that it works on the emulator and not in real device ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i'm only supporting english as well.

the menu definition is here https://github.com/pedrorijo91/garmin-padel/blob/master/resources/menus/number_of_sets.xml

In this case all the texts are hard-coded, so it can't even be explained by some bug in the translations or how the resourceIds are resolved. It's just a bug in the FW that in the menu title it displays the current language instead of whatever it should be

Hmm, then it could be due to creating a menu from a resource definition. Try creating a Menu2 programmatically instead. (My apps - which did not have this problem on FR935 - used a programmatically-created Menu2.)

See example here: [https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/api-docs/Toybox/WatchUi/Menu2.html]

(It seems unlikely that this will fix the problem, given that the resource compiler should be creating code that's similar to what you would write to create a Menu2 programmatically , but I'm trying to figure out why I never saw this problem)
