To reproduce: 

1. Open Debug perspective with the git history tab visible.  The layout might be important, see the screenshot.  

2. Click on a file and check that the History tab shows the Git history.

3. Pick a method, right click on it and select "Open Call Hierarchy".

Observe that the History tab does not show the git history, instead there is completely unnecessary message about "No differing versions".

4. click back on the file.  An Error message pops up with Argument not valid.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=392494
This may or may not be related.

After that, the UI is a mess - see the screenshot.

I suspect that "No differing versions" message is a symptom of a larger problem - if I close the Git History tab, the error message does not appear.

This started happening around or before Eclipse 3.7.2, still happens with 4.3 Kepler.  I am on Windows XP 64 bit with all the latest patches.

Just to clarify, this bug is not about the mess in the UI, but the fact that it shows (I think, improperly) the message "No differing versions" instead of remaining in Git history.

Thanks!

Could you try to reproduce this with a CVS project? I still don't think the problem is in EGit, just as with bug 392494.

My question is why does it go into a different mode and shows "No differing versions"?  Is this a part of the core or git?

Yes, that is part of the core team framework, it shows the local history of the method .

okay, sorry for misdirecting the issue.  it does happen with CVS.  This is very disappointing - 4.3 is just unusable.

Please mark it as a duplicate of 494.

Thanks!
