Strange language behaviour after upgrade to 3.4.2 (or 3.4.3)

[europower]

After upgrading to 3.4.2 we noticed that when users login (or logout) from our website, the language switches to another language. To be precise, it switches to the language that is sorted to the last place inside the content language manager (see picture). And even more: it only does this when SEF if turned off.

Anyone having this problem?

When logging in through ?option=com_users (component) there is no problem. It only occurs when using the mod_login (no template override)

[europower]

Compared the modules\mod_login folders between 3.4.0 and 3.4.2/3 and found out that the "helper.php" file is almost complete redone. When using the 3.4.0 file on my 3.4.3 Joomla site, the problem was gone.
Can someone have a look at this!

The redirect from the login depends on the default site language defined for the user IF "Automatic Change" is set in the language filter parameters.

Same problem here. Checked language filter parameters but that is not the problem. After logon through the module, language changes to whatever language is on last place within the content language manager.
Changing the helper.php file fixed it for me, but i'm not happy with this solution. A better solution would be that it gets fixed. Alternative solutions could be not to use the module at all and link to component page. Or use an 3th party login module.
For now (until it is fixed) i will use the solution Europower provided.

Please create a tracker issue with detailed instructions (user preferred language, browser preferred language, login module parameters, etc.) to reproduce the problem on
http://issues.joomla.org/

Issue is posted Joomla tracker system http://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/7348

@europower
You are using Falang. You better contact the Falang developer as I can't repoduce the issue on a pure Joomla!.

[europower]

Already did that. First responds is that login redirect is done by the language filter plugin which is a core plugin and not an falang plugin.
Still strange that the "helper.php" trick from version 3.4.0 is working!

Here are the changes that were brought to the login module helper:

Can you test one by one to see which one broke your settings?

Hi,

I found the problem but not yet the solution.

The problem occur if the mod_falang is before the mod_login.

This is due to this line when i build the $language->link
$uri->setVar('lang',$language->sef);
$language->link = JUri::getInstance()->toString(array('scheme', 'host', 'port', 'path', 'query'));

I'm working on a patch , the new Falang 2.1 was ready. i will wait a little more.
