Trouble with multilingual associations when using Tags in Category Blog

[sokrates_mx5]

I continue to struggle with multilingual associations for menus that use Category Blog and Tags that use the same Category. I've written about it in a previous tread (viewtopic.php?f=711&t=983549), and I thought the problem was solved, but it's not.

I have an English Menu called News containing Sub-menus e.g. Economy. The Menu Type of these Menus are Category Blog. The News Menu is set to the Category News and the Economy Menu is set to the Category Economy. Lately, I've also created further Sub-menus of Category Blog type that are set to the News Category and where further selection is done by setting a Tag.

Since the site is multilingual, I have a Spanish "mirror" of the English Menus and Categories. The Menus as well as the Categories are associated between the two languages.

The problem is that when swapping between the language versions of the News Menus, then one doesn't come to its equivalent, one comes to the last of the News Menus, with Category News, that is published. This problem only appears among Menus that has got the same Category set, even though further selection is made with different Tags. The Sub-menus with its own Category like Economy works fine.

The links that are shown in the Menus works fine when testing them. This is an example of what the links look like to the News Menus that are further selected by a Tag.

index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=9&filter_tag[0]=44

index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=11&filter_tag[0]=44

I've had a look in the database table Associations and the pair of menus that are associated between the two languages share the same Key, which looks right.

The site uses SEF links and URL Rewriting. I've begun to think that it might be the conversion to SEF links that might cause the problem.

Are you using Legacy or Modern Routing, with or without ID numbers in URL?

Try to switch off SEF and see if there are any change in behaviour.

I use Modern Routing without IDs.

I've also seen that what ever article i open in the News/Noticias Categories, it opens it with the last Menu of those in the News/Noticias Categories with a further selection using a Tag. It's therefore NOT only an issue for multilingual sites.

I do believe this malfunction is due to a bug, maybe in the generation of the SEF links.

It would be interesting if anyone else could test, by creating more menus with the same Category using Tags for further selection in between, to see if the issue will be repeated.

I've tested with SEF URLs set to NO and the problem is still present.
