Two bugs one in "Connect IQ" Android application and two in "Garmin Express" windows application

​​Hi.

Connect IQ:
Critical bug: Whenever trying to uninstall any of the installed watch faces, I am losing other watch faces (seems like other watch faces becomes currupted).

Example - Given state:

  1. Two watch faces installed (both from the ConnectIQ store either web version or the android version)
    1. First one for example is "Glance Dual Screen" (another bug is in the android app -  the android screen not being updated after a minute or two [not showing settings button, but still having the busy indicator with installing message]. The WF becomes active on the watch, backing out and restarting connectIQ, some cases it is showing the settings button other cases I need to force close the ConnectIQ app and/ot clear application cache in order to see settings)
    2. Second one for example is "SolarTime 2.0" - same scenario as above (... not showing settings ...)
  2. Installation order is:
    1. "Glance Dual Screen" (configured setting as of my preferences [does not matter the actual configuration])
    2. "SolarTime 2.0" (configured setting as of my preferences [does not matter the actual configuration])
  3. Current active watch face is "Glance Dual Screen".

Problem scenario:

Decided to remove currently not used "SolarTime 2.0" watch face

  1. Open ConnectIQ on my android device (Samsung Galaxy S22 ultra plus)
  2. Tap "SolarTime 2.0"
  3. Tap the uninstall / remove button
  4. Some time after (in most case - long time), showing either the INSTALL button (if successful removal) or only SETTINGS button (if failed removing) in parallel to this, the watch showing the default (first Garmin [analog]) watch face which can be in some cases OK and work fine , or in other cases: some elements not showing - e.g. the watch hands or any other elements that normally should be shown. In the latter case - until restarting the watch (for now, I did not try to change to any other face to see if it starts working ok. Tried to choose another watch face before removing - same results described here...).

Now, trying to restore my selected watch face "Glance Dual Screen" (following the example scenario above):

  • "Glance Dual Screen" not showing on the watch faces list as installed via long up===menu -> watch faces
  • Going to my android device - ConnectIQ is showing "Glance Dual Screen" as installed - I cannot open the watch face setting or removal.

Garmin Express:

Not a critical one but reather annoying.

Given state:

My windows installation having one or more right to left language UI's, the default is ENGLISH.

Problem description:

  • The "Garmin Express" windows are using a default FlowDirection of RightToleft (I'm guessing it is based on windows locale settings and not on the UI default language), causing it to be shown as mirrored image (cannot attach screenshots getting error "file quota error")
  • There are some doubled items in the apps/watch faces list (where the dropdown with "All", "On youe device", "Watch faces" etc...)

Thanks ahead.
