I was not able to reproduce the problem on Sony phone, but was able to reproduce it on Samsung phone, using latest google play builds of software (1.10.1 according to application screen @ device).

I have tried various settings for language, etc - what seemed to be the difference between my sony device, my friend's samsung device and device in this bug report. Any locale on Samsung leads to having this bug (Russian - English - German tested); no locale change on Sony device made this bug appear on Sony device.

I think I can fix it, but I can't reproduce it on my phone. Can you please test this APK for me? https://we.tl/t-tW38BUAIp7 (Sorry about the external share service, but it's too large for Bugzilla)
