@ARamadan-WMF: What was the intention behind "vandalizing" this task (removing description, subscribers, project tags)?

@Aklapper, There was no intention to vandalize the task. After receiving feedback from our testing engineer, I decided to investigate the issue further with the Android engineers before filling the board with uncertain tickets. To avoid unnecessary noise, I adjusted the task accordingly.

If restoring the original description is the preferred approach while the investigation is ongoing, I’m happy to follow that process. Let me know how best to proceed.

Hmm, not sure I can follow why removing me from subscribers makes further investigation easier... :)
If you plan to work on this task, please feel free to set yourself as assignee.
If a task is currently not actionable (maybe that comes close to "uncertain"?), please feel free to set the task status to stalled, if I understand correctly.
It's just that tasks without assignee and without any active project tags very often linger and get forgotten. Hope that makes sense!

The team is still working on deciding the next action for this ticket.
