Cannot scroll "Compare by content"

[ts4242]

How to reproduce:
------------------
1. compare two different files.
2. set "Compare by contents" panels above each other.
3. move the divider to 100.0% or 0.0%

Now the current position will lost and jump to the beginning of the file and you cannot scroll using mouse or keyboard.

you can scroll again only if one panel shows at least one line

I started TC with fresh wincmd.ini and got the same result!

Win XP-SP2/ TC 7.02a

Hello !

• Confirmed. It's even worse here, since when the divider is set to “0”, it disappears totally
and I'm unable to catch it in order to enlarge the panel again (Win9x theme)…
- Besides, I had to change by hand in the INI file to fix that, or else my compare function should remain unusable.
- Obviously, something is missing by there, let's say a kind of “stop”
beyond which it could be impossible to move the divider or so.
- Here, the defect stays -even whether I switch to the juxtaposed layout- as well when it's got.

Hello!

here i can catch the divider when it is 0% by moving the mouse carefuly above the path edit (Win9x and XP default blue theme)

Again…

• You lucky ! Here I can't get the –||– cursor in the case… But still, I use the 120 DPI option in TC !

• Aside, let's notice that the position is given as ‰ in the INI (like for all dividers, I guess), so writing “20” in the INI
while it's “0” makes that only the 2/3 of a line is visible. But it's sufficient to catch the divider again, though…
• That leads to think that - whether it could't be fixed for all cases¦themes - it's worth an INI entry like i.e. :

[1024×768 (10×20)]
CompareDividerMinMax=30,970
- Defines the stops of the divider to avoid it turns hidden and prevents to scroll the visible file (in ‰).

Indeed it's currently not supported, sorry. I haven't found a way yet to add empty lines at the end of the file automatically when the user moves the divider.

Good evening,

• Do you think that limits via an INI entry like above are possible ?
- Doing so, there is no need to add anything in the file…

I have an idea but i don't know if it will help!

The problem is that, if a panel height is less than the current font height (one line), you cannot scroll it and as a result the second panel scrolling stop too, So after the user release the divider, temporary stop scroll synchronize if you found a panel height is less than the current font height, by this way you can scroll the higher panel.

That's exactly the problem, that's why I would need to add more empty lines at the end to allow scrolling. The problem is that when I add too many such empty lines, you could scroll both files far beyond the end...

• Hence, why not “stops” as a workaround like proposed above ? If feasible, it's worth a try, I guess…
