I’m using English Windows, Google Chrome with preferences set to English. I’m logged into my Google account with preferences set to English. But I am in Finland and when I go to Google Checkout to add my credit card details, the page ignores my preferences and is displayed in Finnish, a language which I cannot read sufficiently well to get the accuracy needed in financial situations. When I select English from the drop-down list, all is well until the next page with the Terms of Use etc., and it’s back to Finnish again and I can’t see an option to change the language. Therefore I cannot confidently sign up for Google Checkout. I consider this a bug in Google Checkout because my Google account is logged in and set to ‘use English for Google products’.

not consistent bug
1. Firefox 3.6.13, with WebDev plugin, disable javascript
2. search for, web – for example, from G home
3. Then choose ‘images’ view

(not spam btw)
5. If I nav away, to video, for example, then go back to images via the images link, result display OK, i.e. images (minus js function still)
6 – If you go from images to maps, it jumps to Places, then select images from here, the results look like a mobile version of the results.
When you view the results in the above old style/layout for >web< search results number are random, from 2,830,000,000 to 3,210,000,000 (see attached link)
With js enabled, normally, srch result number is: About 4,760,000,000 results (0.10 seconds)

Hi,

There seems to be a problem with the Gmail Labs module of ‘Default Text Styling’.

Simply do the following:

1. Enable the Labs Default Text Styling feature.
2. In Settings -> General go to ‘Default text style’ section.
3. Even though it is already normal, select Normal as the text size dropdown and Save.
4. Compose a new e-mail, and type a few words (with one word misspelled)
5. Right-click on the incorrect word and select a correct word.

The rest of the line suddenly shrinks to a 0 or 1 point sized font. I am using current stable Chrome on Mac OS X (if that matters.)

Hi Matt,
This isn’t so much of a bug as it is a feature request and it deals with youtube. It would be really nice if the “embed” code generated for sharing video on another site included the “wmode” parameter, so that users don’t have to edit the code to get divs to display on top of the player.

Hi, I found a bug with image search.

#1. Search for something.
#2. Hover over one of the image results.
#3. Click the search text field.
#4. Try to use the left and right arrow keys to edit your search text. This will not work; instead, the focus will leave the text field and your arrow keys will browse the image results below.

Hebrew Calendar – wrong holiday name

The holiday of Rosh HaShana is known as the Jewish New Year. On Google calendar, it appears in Hebrew as “The Civil New Year” – Rosh HaShana HaEzrachit – HaEzrachit meaning civil. That is the wrong name. In Hebrew, when we say the civil new year, we’re referring to January 1st. The Hebrew should simply read Rosh HaShana.

Dear Matt,

I think there is an issue with the way Google handles the redirection of the user’s query in the “Updates” section.

The bug is present at least in the international (US) and italian version.

Steps needed to reproduce the bug:

1) Search anything on google
2) Click on “More”
3) Click on the “Updates” tab
4) Click on “Web” in the upper left corner of the screen

Output of the bug: 404 page (the user gets redirected to http://www.google.com/search&q=test instead of http://www.google.com/search?q=test )

This is an issue with the Google Realtime Search. Searching for anything, say Google and then clicking the web link in the top left passes the GET search data incorrectly. This results in a 404 error:Not FoundThe requested URL /search&q=google was not found on this server.
