The first cycle uses the built-in default UA strings, because it occurs before user settings are loaded.

Need to force a reshuffle of UA string once user settings are loaded.

The fix will also take care of forcing a shuffle when the user-agent text area changes.

This still doesn't seem to work as expected. After browser startup the first cycle is still using the built-in UA strings.

Moreover, editing the text area does not force a shuffle either. I reproduced it this way:

  1. Open Chrome with the --incognito switch.
  2. Browse immediately to http://www.delorie.com:81/some/url.txt and observe the UA header.
  3. The header is chosen from the built-in list, and does not change until the next shuffle period (set at the minimum of two minutes).

A shuffle can be forced by deselecting the Spoof UA checkbox and selecting it, however this acts like starting at Step 1 again.

You're right, I clearly did not test much my "fix". Will release a good fix today.
