The "show hint" button doesn't work

[morfikov]

There's the Hint column on the word list. When a session is started, it wants me to provide some answer. When I tap on the "Show Solution" button, it fills the answer instead of showing what was in the Hint column.

The question mark top right is used to show hints. "Show solution" does literally what you described, gives you the answer.
See also here button number 5.

Actually the question mark does nothing, I mean nothing happens when I tap on it. I though it's app's help or something.

Hm, it should display the hint you provided, otherwise I'll have to investigate that. Nevertheless the current "hint" button isn't very intuitive.

I think I've managed to fix this. Something went wrong when the app data was restored from backup. I cleared the data/cache and imported the list. Now it looks like the hint button works well.

Yes, indeed.

Uh that shouldn't happen at all. Some thoughts you could verify:

• the hint data should stay in the list data (visible in the editor), so at least there it shouldn't ever be gone
• hint should be shown in the trainer, if not disabled
• if it's a cache problem maybe stopping + clearing only the cache could help (or rotating the view)

Maybe I hit some unrelated issue by accident? I mean something unrelated to backup because it looks like it works perfectly well now. I tried to do the exact same steps as before (at least I think so), and I can't reproduce the bug.
