Some more info. - I just built from the git repo, version 1.11.70 and master does not contain the bug. - I did a bisect and the commit that fixes the problem is 7c598f336ec36ee6534098491b11db563ea6e2b3 - The commit title is "Fix starting with command line parameters" - It is an incredibly simple three-liner by C. Balles, so please, do consider applying it. 1.12.0 will have the fix just tagged the release. Will be uploaded in 24 to 48 hrs, *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 486782 *** |

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS $ kinfo Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20241121 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.11.8-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 24 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-12900K Memory: 62.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050/PCIe/SSE2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If you click ok, the `file open...` dialog appears with the correct file names and paths, and the diff is successfully opened. But, this additional step creates problems when diffing from version control software, e.g., mercurial or git On mercurial, it is still possible to see the diff if there is more than one file changed, but in git it is not possible to see anything. Even in mercurial, if the diff consists of only one file, it is also not possible to see any diff.
