Description Ray 2008-12-11 18:18:46 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The File Diff drop down box has 10 previously opened files in it, but does not cycle through the most recent files opened. It displays only the first 10 files ever opened.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open and compare at least 10 files
2. Use drop down menu to look for recent files.
3. No scroll arrows exist, and only the first 10 files ever opened are in the listing


Actual results:


Expected results:
I would expect the list of files to cycle through with the most recently opened files at the top of the list. The list itself should include, at least, the ten most recently opened files, not just the first 10 ever opened.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Thanks for the report. The entry and history code is being rewritten for the next major release so hopefully this issue will become obsolete.

I've just committed to SVN a rework of the History widgets that should fix this bug. Please test and reopen the bug if necessary. Thanks for the bug report.
