Possible Bug In 3.1.3 Viewing Branched File Revision History

Post by Veryth » Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:22 pm

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this, please correct me if I am wrong, but I think I've found a small bug in the 3.1.3 client. The bug is minor and not a show-stopper (there is a work around), but it can get annoying after a while.

Anyways, the bug relates to viewing a previous revision of a file from a history explorer window on a branch.

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Branch a folder. This step can be skipped if you already have a branch of something.
2. Go inside the branch folder and locate a file with a couple of revisions.
3. Right click on the file and select "Show History..."
4. Right click on an old revision of the file (previous to the "Branched from..." revision). Notice that the "View..." menu option is greyed out.
5. Right click on another old revision of the file and you will notice "View..." is still greyed out.
6. Right click on the "Branched from..." revision of the file. Notice now that "View..." is not greyed out.
7. Right click on any of the other revisions, including the ones in steps #4 and #5, and "View..." will no longer be greyed out.

Work Around:
1. Right click on the "Branched from..." revision first.
2. Right click and "View..." the revision you were wanting to look at.

Additional:
1. The context menu option "Pin" is also affected in the same manner.

Good catch. I reproduced this in 3.1.2 but yours is the first report.

I'll log it as a bug. Thanks for the workaround
