Description Rene Schneider 2003-03-28 17:49:34 UTC

Version:           2.0 (using KDE KDE 3.0.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Kompare doesn't compare files if at least one of the files has no newline at the end. It only shows an empty window.

I can reproduce this bug as follows:
echo -n Test > file1
echo -n Test2 > file2
kompare file1 file2

Comment 1 Rene Schneider 2003-04-07 20:35:28 UTC

The problem is the LANG environment. With "LANG=de_DE kompare file1 file2"
I can reproduce this bug. The line "setEnvironment( "LANG", "C");" in the
constructor of KompareProcess solves the problem for me and it seems
already fixed in CVS.

Does not work for me in the make it cool branch (it has yet again a rewritten 
parser) so i'll have to fix it there and keep this bug open as a reminder of 
that.

i think i fixed it all in make_it_cool too, i'll do some more testing but i'll change it to 
worksforme anyway.
