Description Remy Suen CLA 2011-08-11 09:43:45 EDT 
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.
Comment 2 Kevin Sawicki CLA 2011-08-15 12:08:50 EDT 
I believe this is a duplicate of bug343276
