Description

Hi,

Post count restriction isn't working for me. No matter what I set it to I always get 100. I've verified this is the same on a second device. I've verified that preferences.xml encodes the correct value as a string matching those checked against in PostListingFragment.java. However I'm not able to identify the cause in the source.

Thank you for RedReader!

Research direction

Start by reading PostListingFragment.java and compare its post-count handling with the value stored in preferences.xml. Reproduce the restriction with a value above 100 and trace where the configured value becomes 100. Done means the selected post count is respected consistently, including on a second device or equivalent test setup.
