When compare file in workspace with other files (including local and remote file), the file in workspace become blank. (erased all content in the file)

Confirmed, Windows XP.  Seems pretty critical since it is immediately truncating the file contents when you compare the files, it doesn't happen after you save the comparison view.  As pointed out it only seems to be the case when the file is located within the workspace, other RSE compares work well.

Assigning to you since I'll be out for a bit.

To clarify, this seems to occur when the file(s) involved in the compare are under the RSE Local connection and also contained within the workspace.  I suspect this may have been caused by the change for bug 399101.

I've committed a fix for this and I've opened bug 412859 for the backport to the R3_4_maintenance stream.
