Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.4 (Build 201310111528) Updates: NetBeans IDE is updated to version NetBeans 7.4 Patch 2 Java: 1.7.0_45; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 24.45-b08 Runtime: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 1.7.0_45-b18 System: Linux version 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.i686 running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) User directory: /root/.netbeans/7.4 Cache directory: /root/.cache/netbeans/7.4 This is not an issue with nb 8.0. But a general issue. When any file is shown, if the diff count is saying 1/1, then we cannot move direct to that spot unless i scroll the diff view manually. Sample screen shot is attached with this issue. So, as a general feature, there can be a button near to that. If we click a button, then whatever the number is shown in there (ex : 1/1) the view should scroll to that place. It is a must to have feature with respect to the navigation. You can say that the diff is highlighted in the right side bar so that we can click it to navigate to that place. But, when there are some warnings or hints in those place, then this diff color is overridden by that warning. So, it is always better to have a button to navigate the diff place whose number is shown in the top (ex: 1/1)
The screen shot shows the diff count as 1/1. But, I am seeing some other code. Now, If i want to see the diff, then I have to move my scrollbar slowly to locate myself where the diff is available.... So there can be a navigation button nearby the component that shows 1/1 or the navigation can be enabled by clicking the component itself. This is a must to have feature as per my opinion
Created attachment 143274 [details] Screenshot showing the need of one click navigation to diff location
works for me. When i run Tools -> Diff To... and diff to the second file, the view automatically jumps to the first (in this case the only one) difference. Does it not work the same for you? If you click on the refresh button in the view, does it jump then?
if it really does not automatically jump to the first diff, then please attach the messages.log right after the view opens on the wrong lines.
