Description James Moody CLA 2001-10-10 22:37:37 EDT
Compare project with stream contents.
	Right-click in the tree viewer in the compare view.
	I got an empty menu.

		On NT I just don't get a menu.
		Is there supposed to be something in the menu? (not clear what we could allow someone to do here)

	JEM (6/14/01 4:14:24 PM)
		I think there is a convention like an item labelled <Empty Menu> or something like that if
		the menu is intentionally empty.

	This would be a compare FW PR.  VCM knows nothing about that menu.  I believe that menu used to 
	contain our friends "Copy selected nodes from left to right", etc.  I guess Andre decided to remove them 
	completely. I thought he would remove them from the toolbar but leave them in the compare editor context menu.

	From John A:
	Hi Andre, from usability discussions, they thought the "copy selected nodes from left to right" buttons
	in the structure view were confusing.  They really mimic the catchup/release menu items when in the catchup/release view.  
	Maybe they shouldn't appear in the structure view toolbar, but just in the context menu.
	That way, I can exclude them completely from the catchup/release view. 
	They would only appear in the context menu of other compare editors, where they make more sense. 
	Currently there is a confusing array of operations for copying things from local->server and vice-versa, and it seems confusing.

Fixed for > 20020124.
If StructureDiffView menu would be empty, a disabled
item "<Empty Menu>" is automatically shown.
