Error description

• Steps to reproduce:
  Clone a portlet, for example Bookmarks, using the Manage
  Portlets portlet and assign a new title to the clone
  In Portlet Management > Portlets find the new the clone and
  select Configure portlet
  Select "I want to set title and descriptions"
  Press the "trash can" icon to delete all non-English Titles and
  Descriptions (on all available pages of titles)
  Click the OK button to save the title/description changes
  Click the OK button again to save the changes
  Click Configure portlet for the clone again
  Click the "I want to set title and descriptions" link
  Notice that the previously deleted Title and Descriptions are
  displayed
  The deleted Titles and Descriptions are still visible after log
  out and login and also after Portal restart
  Tested on 6.0.0.1 and 6.0.1.1, likely affects 6.0.1 as well
  though 6.0.1 was not tested
  There is no known workaround. The developers confirmed that it
  is not currently possible to update or delete portlet Titles
  and Descriptions using XmlAccess
