5.0.1 Show Differences not working when in the Merge Wizard

Post by Brody » Thu Nov 05, 2009 5:18 pm

Sometimes when performing tricky merges it is a comfort to check the changes in a file - but, although the UI offers a Show Differences option (right click on file in list of checkin details - accessed from list of versions in the merge wizard), it doesn't actually do anything until you exit the Merge Wizard. This is a bit annoying - Either take it away so it can't be used or make it work when clicked.

I think this has existed in earlier versions of Vault as well.

To replicate:

1. Start the Merge Wizard
2. Select an origin folder
3. Select a target folder
4. Double click a version row in the 'Select Changes to be Merged' screen.
5. Right-click a file in the 'Version Details' screen and select 'Diff...'
6. Wait a bit...
7. After nothing has happened for a while close the 'Version Details' screen.
8. Cancel the Merge Wizard
9. Gasp in wonderment as the 'Show Differences' screen pops up
(It all works properly - the context is good just not when I need it (well, want it really).

Your assistance appreciated.

Regards
Brody
