When I am using Compare and have the two files tiled horizontally, Plato will fail to advance the displayed code in the first file if I have the current line or part of the current line highlighted before pressing Ctrl F9. The second file scrolls down to the next difference, but the first file stays put. This is only a minor annoyance, but is it possible to fix this for a subsequent version?
Using compare (F9) in Plato
OK Should be easy to fix.
So far I have not been able to reproduce this effect.
Hmm. Just to confirm, here is what I am doing to reproduce the problem:
- Open a version of a large file
- Compare this file with a second version with only a few differences from the first, and show the files stacked horizontally
- Go to the top of both files
- In the first file, press shift and down arrow to highlight the first line (so the cursor is now on line 2)
- In the second file go to line 2
- Now do Ctrl-F9 to find the first difference from line 2 onwards.
Assuming that the first difference is a page or more down, the second file advances to the different line, but the first stays put. The highlighting disappears and the little red arrow showing the line of difference is present, but you have to scroll down to find it.
I have fixed this problem for the next release.
