When I click "Diff to previous revision" or "Diff between revisions", a diff viewing dialog is opened. It has the following problems making it hard to use for source code: 1. No highlighting of added and removed lines, 2. The font is not fixed width, 3. Initial dialog size is too small — probably 300x200 pixels, that's even smaller than 80x25 chars. Reproducible: Always
Confirmed. The patch review plugin usually takes care of displaying the diff inside the KDevelop main window though. Can you make sure it is loaded? At any rate: We need to fix the workflow where it is missing, so keeping this one open.
Oops... On the machine where I noticed the poorly formatted diff I had to disable "patchreview" because I was too lazy to install libkcomparediff2[kf5].
Thanks for the confirmation.
I think we should just assume that libkcomparediff is there and drop such dialog altogether. It's not something we're maintaining appropriately anyway, since most of us never see it.
Alright, I just noticed we already have a hard dependency on libkomparediff2 (when compiling the patchreview plugin). So we already require it to be there. Marking this one as invalid then.
