I have integrated BC3 as compare/diff in TFS environment.
I had a folder-diff session open along with a difference window open for quite some time.
I then wanted to use TFS history dialog to compare differences between 2 versions (i.e. it calls Cirrus.exe directly), but the panes were blank and the icon at the bottom stated "Error" with a standard error icon.
I tried hovering the mouse over it but I couldn't make out any error description, isn't this suppose to be shown to the user somehow?
(Unfortunately I can't reproduce it anymore after I reopened the folder compare session).
*Edit: Reproduced by doing this:
1) Choose History of an item
2) Compare 2 versions (Cirrus shows up with diffs)
3) While the cirrus diff is opened, I compare 2 other versions, this results in Error.
The naming convention of the local files are:
Working: Left: "File;C33333.00.Ext" Right: "File;C37380.00.Ext"
Error: Left: "File;C47092.00.Ext" Right: "File;C54384.00.Ext"
