[closed] Occasional problems with bookmarks...

Post by Guest »

Sometimes when I try to set a bookmark, it won't let me (in the left pane). It will then let me set a bookmark in the right pane, but should be using "6" and instead it assigns a third "2"!
If I then flip back over to the left pane, I can set it to a "6". Then I can switch back over to right pane and delete the "2", but it takes a correctly set "2" in the left pane with it! But it does allow me to set the right pane then to a matching "6".
If I go up and fix the missing "2", everything seem ok.
Until I do a rescan (F5). Then either both "2"'s or both "6"'s have disappeared!

This seems to happen after editing the file.
Maybe it is when placing a bookmark on top of a edited line.
I don't know if it happens when if I place a bookmark first in the right pane, or in the left pane.

Kind of vague bug report - Sorry for that.
I hope it helps.

Any progress to report on the hide-difference/marked-indifference feature?

Are you talking about bookmarks? Bookmarks have no numbering in Compare It! Maybe the problem is in ManualMatch Anchors? Could you explain it a bit more? Thank you.

Sorry - you're right...

I was tired.
I meant to say manual anchors, not bookmarks.

A little more info

It seems to be related to renumbering or modifying anchors.
If I install anchors correctly, they seem to work fine.
If I have to delete one, it can mess up the numbering.
If I rescan, the numbers are reordered.

By this point, it will often refuse to add anchors to the left pane, and other weird things like I described before.

OK, I will check this point more aggressively.
