Sync from (Gears-enabled) Chrome didn't really work. Result: 25 duplicates of each task

roel says:
After hearing some great things about RTM from some friends I decided to retry it, and especially the smart add functonality and the mobile sync options really won me over.

So yesterday I moved my tasks for the next few weeks over to RTM. After doing that, my Google Gears enabled Chrome RTM window was for some reason 'offline', and when I tried to sync it a few times I only got errors. This morning I was surprised to see 25 duplicates of almost each of the tasks in RTM. I now disabled Gears form RTM, and hope that that solves it. (if that was the culprit, maybe it's good Google is switching from Gears to HTML5 local storage ;-)

However, I was planning to install the RTM app on my iphone. Hopefully that sync will not botch up my task list again...

(Btw, I reported this issue: #098289064GG)

Wow, Andrew replied to my reported issue within the day. (Great support!)
It seems there may indeed be some troubles with newer Gears versions, as reported on the status blog:

I'll keep Gears disabled for now. :)
