Description Thiadmer Riemersma 2009-04-06 10:17:21 UTC
Please describe the problem:
When reviewing changes between two files, I use Ctrl-D to jump from one change to the next. It occurs frequently that this skips over one or more blocks of changed lines. The blocks of changed lines are correctly marked in the margin.


Steps to reproduce:
Load the two test files. There are about 12 changes between those files. Ctrl-D will only jump to the last one. Ctrl-E does nothing. Apparently, I cannot attach files to the bug report, please contact me (thiadmer at compuphase.com) for the files.

Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
After commenting out 4 lines (whose purpose I did not understand), Ctrl-D and Ctrl-E work correctly. I have not (yet) noticed any malfunction due to the removal of the 4 lines.

The lines are (version 1.2.1):
1103:        if c[1]+c1 == c[2]-c2:
1104:            continue

1110:        if chunk[1]+c1 == chunk[2]-c2:
1111:            continue

This bug is related to "ignore blank lines" preference, could you try to reproduce with this option unchecked, and report.

Could you also try meld svn, because this bug is related to 566808 which should be fixed with the option not checked.
