Ok I've just noticed that the reason the buttons are working is because the mouse/cursor focus isn't on the file which has changed. It's probably on neither, so when the save button is clicked it doesn't know which file should be changed and so does nothing.
By clicking the in the file you want to save it gains focus and the save buttons work. So the bug is probably more about UI design and UI feedback. Before I moved to Linux I used to use WinMerge on Windows and I don't remember a problem, I can take a look and see how it behaves for this scenario. -- Save buttons not working https://launchpad.net/bugs/83733 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
