Build Identifier: I20110127-2034

Select two packages. Right click and Compare With -> each other
in the compare view do a modification
save it (this step doesn't work)
we see that the file should have changed but hasn't changed in fact because if you redo the comparison the modification hasn't been made.
Note: If the compare is made with two files or class the modification are done on the files. This feature was working in previous version

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select two packages. Right click and Compare With -> each other
2.Do a modification
3.Save the modification (doesn't work)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
