Perhaps I will, however users may have work arounds or different oppinions 
if it's really a bug or not.

Do you consider this scroll issue a bug ? It may be a design issue ? It may 
also be that there are options to change it's behaviour.

I am not certain yet that it is a bug, perhaps it's a configuration kind of 
thing.

Again usability might be a question of configuration.

Also if there is consensus of other users that something is annoying and 
the behaviour should be changed might also help convince developers a 
change is a good idea.

This I can do, however it can be usefull to get different kinds of feedback 
based on user group.

I am not so familiar yet with these groups and I have no idea how many 
readers are in each group.

I am unsure how to identify windows specific git problems.

Bye for now,

The gitk Patch[!] / Tree options will swap what is being displayed in the 
two bottom windows.

* for Patch the right hand side lists just the commit/'comment' file and 
the files which have diffs (changes).
The left hand window then shows those diffs and commit comment. Clicking an 
item in the right hand pane will make the left pane jump to the required 
place.

* for Tree, the righ hand side panels lists the full file tree that is 
present in the commit snapshot, with the commit comment at the top. 
Directories has a small blue triangle and can be expanded by clicking the 
triangle - watch where the 'arrow' of the triangle points.
Having selected a file/item in the right hand window, the left hand window 
then will display that selected file as a full raw text. Useful if the diff 
context isn't sufficient in Patch mode.

HTH.
Philip

Please stop reporting bugs on this list.

As I've suggested several times before, this list is dedicated to help
inexperienced Git users solve the problems they have when using Git.

Discussing usability issues or apparent bugs is just pointless here for the
two reasons: 1) this list is not read by Git developers (who could try to fix
the code), and 2) no one else is going to report bugs for you.

Please re-read .


Oh, and while we're at it, one more kind request: please stop posting
identical e-mails to both git-users and git-for-windows. Again, as I've
suggested elsewhere, the former list is for discussing basic _generic_
problems with Git - no matter which flavour it is and on which platform it
runs on, - and the latter is for solving problems specific to Windows and
Git-for-Windows as the de-facto standard ongoing port of Git to that platform.
