Description Remy Suen

I selected the first commit in the 'History' view and tried to use 'Create Patch...' from its context menu. I selected the 'Clipboard' option and then clicked 'Finish' but nothing happened. The exception below was in my log file.

I think this might be because the only file I have changed in this commit is a file that's not in the workspace.

I believe this is a duplicate of bug343276
