Description Tomasz Zarna CLA 2011-01-24 06:48:08 EST
I20110118-0800, but reproducible on I20110104-0800 as well

1. Go to Team > CVS > Comment Templates in Preferences, you can go there directly from the commit dialog clicking on the link below comment area
2. Create a new, empty template: do not enter anything when "Enter Comment Template" dialog show up, just press Ok
3. Modify a file and do Team > Commit
4. On the "Commit Files" dialog. choose the newly created template from the combo below comment area. It will be visible in the list as "Template:".
5. Press Finish
=> You're not asked if you want to commit with an empty message, but I guess this is fine because you've explicitly choose a blank template
=> The problem is that the comment went with "<Click here to enter a commit comment>" message

At first I thought this has something to do with bug 334756 or bug bug 333812, but it turned out it's not a regression introduced by any of these two. It has been there for a while.

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.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
