Build 20020501

1) Modify some file that was previously in sync with the repository
2) Team->Synchronize on that project
3) Edit the left hand side of the compare editor, don't save it.
4) Click in another view

-> It prompts to save my changes.  Why do I have to save the file just to 
activate another view?

5) Select "No" to the save prompt.
6) Click back in the compare view, open the context menu on LHS, select "Save".
7) Now try to click on another view

-> Again it prompts me to save.  I just saved it!

This may be a compare framework issue, but I couldn't reproduce it in another 
compare view so I'm putting it here.

Prompting when leaving the sync view is by design. The sync view editors do not
stay in sync with other editors in the workbench, therefore the user needs to
know that the changes they made are not reflected elsewhere in the workbench.
It's the best we can do given the limited saving support in the compare
framework right now.

The double prompting is a compare bug, see 15406.
