[Bug] Different view-menus found for left/right panel
Only a little optical confusion:
The menu for choosing the actual view mode (Shift-F1 in each panel) is different for left and right panel
(Screenshot here)
On the left side it says "File-Comments Show (cm_LeftCommands, ^-F2)",
on the right side it says "Comments Ctrl+Shift+F2"
Is this intentional?
Second:
- ^-F2 (without Shift) as mentioned in left menu does nothing here (I can't remember changing something here).
- Ctrl+Shift+F2 switches the Comments-View on the actual side, whichever is acticated ("cm_LeftCommands"?).

Thanks, but the language files don't seem to be the problem. I tried with a fresh install into an empty directory. I searched the file contents in TC-dir, no file contains "cm_LeftCommands".
Then I started with a fresh INI and both menus look normal (as on right side in screenshot) - so the problem seems to be there.
In my INI the only position where I found the displayed string from the left side was in Start (user) menu:
That's exactly the text shown in the view menu.
If I change the title in the Start (user) menu, it also changes in this view menu.
Bug or feature
[Edit:] Replacing the above entry by copying menu8/cmd8 to menu9/cmd9 fixes the problem. All "spaces" are real ones (ASCII 20 Hex).
[same behaviour in TC 6.56 and 7.00rc3, using W2k + XP SP2]

Reproduceable with a new INI (created with TOTALCMD.EXE /i=c:\tc_new.ini) and the above line added to Start (user) menu.
Complete INI with which this occurs here reproduceably:
Maybe this thread should be moved to TC7 Beta bug reports?

I can also confirm the bug.
I doesn't have to be cmd9 - I reproduced it with cmd2.
It also applies to cm_LeftShort, cm_LeftLong and cm_LeftThumbs used as the cmd.
But it does NOT apply to cm_RightShort, cm_RightLong, cm_RightComments and cm_RightThumbs OR cm_ScrShort, cm_ScrLong, cm_ScrComments and cm_ScrThumbs
