1. Open a Java file 2. Click on "Compare With ..." and choose the target (e.g. other branch). => Compare view is shown. The cursor position in the compare view is the one with the first difference. Problem: The compare view should open at the same cursor position from which the comparison was started. In particular with long Java files this is painful: You are only interested in the code at line 2987, but you have to scroll down the compare view to get to that position. I think the current cursor position is a better default for the compare view than the first difference.
I set this bug from "enhancement" to "normal". I think this is actually a bug. In the past few days I had to adapt a large unit test file to a new API: - I'm on some code line (say: line 2693) - I choose "Compare With -> HEAD revision" => The compare editor is opened at line 1. I now need to - go back to the source file - remember the line number - go back to the compare editor - jump to that line number in the compare editor Not very convenient ...
