Build 20020612 (F3)
Linux-GTK

1. Make sure the option to "Open structure compare automatically" is turned 
off.
2. Synchronize with stream, such that some changed files show up in the 
compare browser.
3. Double-click on a file to view the changes.
4. The compare browser opens automatically, despite the preference setting.

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but when I set up my workspace, I imported 
my preferences which included "Open structure compare automatically" 
disabled.

Double clicking on a file always open the structure compare independent from 
the setting in the preference.

But we should reconsider this since comapre now honors Double/Single setting 
from the workbench

The main reason for adding this preference was to avoid the accidental 
communication with CVS when there is a large file. Now that there is an 
explicit user action this preference is not critical anymore and it could 
actually be removed. Therefore no action for 2.0

I'd suggest reversing the "duplicate" relationship with bug 71285. Aside from the fact that this bug is four years older, I think this summary is more likely to be useful to others looking for dups. "Option has no effect" is not very descriptive.

I prefer the discussion in the other bug since it is more recent. I have updated the title of bug 71285.
