TYPO3 Core

It is still present in both 6.2.15 and 7.5-dev (latest master)

Step to reproduce:

1) create a new page > type: shortcut
1.1) set the target to an existing page
1.2) set shortcut mode: "random subpage of selected/current page"
2) click on page > select "languages" on top dropdown > select the language on dropdown "Make new translation of this page:"
RESULT: shortcut mode is "Selected page" (the first one of the dropdown)

This issue is still present on 8.7.12 but it seems solved on 9.2-dev (latest master) where on both fields Shortcut Mode and Shortcut Target you can choose the "translation behavior" via the radio button Custom value / Value of default language

Here is just a simple check for "text" and "input", but for select (and other types) it doesn't exist an else case. If we add e.g. this check it works:

                if ($fCfg['config']['type'] === 'select') {
                    $overrideValues[$fN] = $row[$fN];
                }

=> Version 9 is not affected because pages_language_overlay no longer exists.
