TC7 final - Compare contents,synchronization and mouse wheel

[white]

1. Select two files and open the Compare contents dialog (menu Files/Compare By Content).
2. Adjust the separator between the panels so the right panel HAS a horizontal scroll bar and the left has NO horizontal scroll bar.
3. Make sure the left panel has focus.
4. Press the End key to go to the last line.
5. Scroll downward using the mouse wheel.
6. Synchronization is off one or more lines!

The same thing occurs when you switch left and right in step 2 and 3.

I can NOT confirm that under the given conditions:

There must be some other setting(s) required to reproduce this.

I also tried TOTALCMD.INC.
I copied TOTALCMD.INC to TOTALCMD.INC3 and removed the first line of TOTALCMD.INC3.

Before mouse wheel scroll
After mouse wheel scroll

I confirm the bug, even without deleting the lines - I just copied totalcmd.inc to totalcmd.inc3 and added a space to one of the lines.

Unfortunately this cannot be avoided - the other window cannot be scrolled any further because there are no more lines. however, it's not a big problem because when you scroll in the other direction, the two sides become aligned again. It also has no influence on the editor.

Maybe it can be avoided if you would always display or hide the horizontal scrollbars at both sides.

it's not a big problem because when you scroll in the other direction, the two sides become aligned again.

However, it can be very confusing if you do not scroll in the other direction, but move the cursor to a certain location and copy the line to the other side using the copy button. Note that sometimes synchronization is off more then one line, see my screen shot where it is two. Then, copying a line to the other side would copy the line to a line which is visually two lines lower/higher.

I can still not reproduce the bug - see:

A clear XP bug IMO. I've seen it in other occasions too.

It seems that dragging the scrollbar with the mouse doesn't scroll til the end. Clicking once on the down arrow (scrollbar's arrow) scrolls the view a little bit more. Clicking once again - the view is de-synchronized.

I found a workaround by setting the top index back to that of the other window when scrolling. Not beautiful, but at least it works.

Confirm fixed in 7.01.
