Unsetting a node's language doesn't save the change

[bjester]

Observed behavior

By default, a resource node without a language defaults to using the language defined on the nearest ancestor, which is performed during publishing. When a resource node has had a language applied to it, and you attempt to clear it, so that it uses the default behavior, the change doesn't save.

No change event is recorded for the removal of the language. It also makes it appear that the saving process is stuck, and gives you the 'unsaved changes' confirmation when you try to leave.

When you make another change, it resolves 'stuck' issues.

Expected behavior

You should be able to unset a node's language, so that it uses the default behavior.

User-facing consequences

A user is unable to unset the language of a node so it uses the default behavior

Errors and logs

None
