Description John Arthorne CLA 2002-09-26 17:36:40 EDT 
Build 20020924

In the synchronize view (and compare with views), a double-click is required in
the structure compare pane to reveal the contents in the lower pane.  It is a
general UI guideline that invisible functions like this also be represented in
some menu. The context menu in the tree view should have an action for showing
the comparison in the view below.

As a slightly different issue, in the case where only a single file is being
compared, it would make sense to reveal this comparison automatically.

I wasn't sure if this bug should be logged as VCM or Compare...

Fix released to HEAD
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2002-10-02 15:16:37 EDT 
You should bounce this to Platform->Compare now so Andre can implement similar
behaviour in the standard compare views.
Comment 3 Michael Valenta CLA 2002-10-02 15:57:08 EDT 
Reopening to verify that other Team/Compare views have this
Comment 4 Michael Valenta CLA 2002-10-03 09:39:07 EDT 
The compare editor menu is contributed by DiffTreeViewer#fillContextMenu().
Comment 5 Andre Weinand CLA 2003-02-19 08:05:21 EST 
fixed and released for I20030218
