When comparing a compilation unit with the content of the team stream, you have to select the only version of the CU in the structure compare, it selects the whole line of the first difference, then you have to press the down arrow once to see the change and this difference is not centered. So there are several problems here: 1. The structure compare has no value since it is supposed to show several versions and there will ever be one (since you're comparing against the stream version). 2. Showing the entire line doesn't show the difference, you have to do one more action to get it. 3. You have to scroll horizontally twice to see the difference.
I cannot fix 1) since that is VCM. 2.) The compare's model of showing differences is always: - show the range of lines - if you want to see detailed changes within a line you have to press an action 3.) horizontal revealing is fixed Assigned to VCM because of 1)

Should test to see if this is still an issue.
The new sync view compare input solves this problem but we should propagate to CVS. This would require changing the compare with remote action so that it is smarter when only one file is selected to compare. There is no need to show the structure compare in that case.
No time in M3.

This is fixed now > I20030226. Basically compare with remote is shown in the sync view and is always up-to-date for outgoing changes. Opening a compare editor on a file shows you only that file.
Verified. When run on a single file selection, Compare with Latest and Compare with Tag both launch a compare editor on that file.
This doesn't work in the 20040317 build (in Win2K, at least). 1. Show the CVS Resource History of a file. 2. Select two revisions. 3. Right click -> Compare. 4. The compare editor opens, but the file contents are shown (same behavior as always). The only difference is that my cursor changes to a busy cursor permanently inside Eclipse. I can still use the cursor, but its stuck as an hourglass at this point.
The busy cursor will actually reset but it seems to have a fixed time it stays busy, see ui bug 55521. Comparing two remote files hasn't currently been fixed yet see bug 55524.
