* Bug Detectives Wanted * - Projects in Studios I am NOT Following
We have a report here of projects being presented in the “Projects in Studios I am Following” row that are from studios that are NOT actually being followed
http://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/50129/
I could use some helpful and smart bug detectives to do a bit of investigative work on this. Is anybody else seeing this bug? Please report on the topic above if you are.
If you are seeing it - can you figure out if there is any relationship between you and the studio? Did you leave comments on it? Do you have a project in it? Are you a Curator or Manager?
If you have a theory - try building an experiment and seeing if you can force the problem to occur.
Thanks for any help you can give

* Bug Detectives Wanted * - Projects in Studios I am NOT Following
I tried to reproduce the bug using a variety of different things, but it seems that the row won't show up even when I am following a non-empty studio…

I find that the projects are from studios that I am following, however if a project is in more than one studio the bit that says "in [studio]" could refer to any studio that the project is in, not just the one I am following. That might be causing some confusion.
Edit: Scratchifier explains this in more detail below.

I have a screenshot of the bug if you need it. I am currently investigating the problem, and I will tell you now that I have been meaning to report this bug for a month or two already. The last update announced related to studios was July 23, and I'm almost definite I had the bug before that.

* Bug Detectives Wanted * - Projects in Studios I am NOT Following
(*COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF GLITCH*)
All of the projects that you see in the “Projects in studios I'm following” row are actually in studios that you are following. No problems here, although a side bug is that if the project is in multiple studios that you are following, it will appear multiple times.
The real issue is that the project will say that it is in the studio it is in that was updated most recently. Therefore, if I wanted to, if I wanted to, I could change a few of the projects in your row to say that they are in the studio “Bunnies are rapidly spreading!”. I'll do that now so that you can see what I mean.
Edit: Search for the project “Solar Eclipse Simulation” by GyroscopeBill in your row. It has a light blue cover screen and was made fairly recently.
That's all!

Aha! Well done @Scratchifier!
☁ Tetris Dash is in the studio “Game On!” which I am following, and also the studio “Professional Projects (Hard Work Projects)”. That explaination is good enough for me, and I think is also the solution. It works with both @Scratchifier and me, so it should be it!
Now… to find how to fix the bug… it is an odd one, isn't it?
Glad to be of some (little) help, and once again, well done @Scratchifier!

- User A: Created a project
- User A: Created a studio “Studio 1” and added the project to it
- User B: Followed “Studio 1” and the project appeared in the “Projects in Studios I am Following” row with “Studio 1” as the studio (it took a bit of time for this to happen)
- User C: Created a studio “Studio 2” and added the project to it
I expected that User B would see the studio switch from “Studio 1” to “Studio 2” in the “Projects in Studios I am Following” row - but it has not. Any thoughts on this result?

My thought?… Perhaps we are back to square one… Oh well. Maybe the row needs some time to refresh? Like the “What the community is Loving” row?Well - I'm not sure we've quite put this one to bed yet. I tried to run an experiment where I did this: Aha! Well done @Scratchifier!

In your list User B never followed Studio 2. Did you forget this?

No, that was on purpose. My understanding of the bug was that the row was showing studios that had not been followed in the first place. If User B followed Studio 2, then the “Projects in Studios I am Following” row would be performing correctly and there would be no bug

Oh yeah sorry I had like one minute before I had to go to compose that message. I wasn't thinking straight.
Questions… can you link me to the users and such?
And have you tried editing the description of the studio/adding the project different ways?

I can't link you up since I unfortunately did it over on the test server - I was trying to keep from cluttering up my regular accounts
That's a good idea about trying some different ways to update the studio - like comments, description, image and so on. I'll give that a try - thanks for the suggestion!

I followed this studio yesterday and noticed the bug today.
My browser / operating system: Windows 7, Firefox 31.0, Flash 14.0 (release 0)
For example, on the front page in the Projects in Studios I'm Following are
数独 Sudoku the Game 0.9
in Uniqueness is Awesome Studio
Shiny hexagons
in Curated!
Both are in the studio I am following but listed as being in studios I am not.

Shiny hexagons is Dark hexagons.
At the moment, it is in meine Spielzeugkiste on my front page.
This is correct because that is a studio I am following.
Yesterday when I posted it was in Curated! on my front page. That is not a studio I am following.
数独 Sudoku the Game 0.9 is in Uniqueness is Awesome Studio on my front page. That is not a studio I am following.
In general, most projects are listed in the correct studios. The few that are not change over time.
For example, right now
Conical Pendulum
in Physics and Math!!!
and
Flowers by great painters of the 19th c. - Quiz
in gochEducation
are incorrectly listed, from my perspective, because I am not following those studios.
On my front page, they should be listed as in meine Spielzeugkiste.
