Created attachment 58233 [details] stack trace
As I am getting the message quite regularly whenever the Diff window appears, the priority of this issue should be raised to P2. Diff is a commonly used tool when working with VCS.
could reproduce only on mac however, p3 as the diff seems to work fine, it's just that the exception is thrown. reassigning to editor for further evaluation thanks
Milo, please evaluate. Thanks
The exception is harmless, in the worst case scenario some folds might be missing. Also, CustomFoldManager should stop using old Syntax and start using lexer. I think I rewrote this a long time ago when experimenting with isolating Syntax to a deprecated autoload module. The code should still be on some branch in CVS, so I'll try to dig it out and apply it to the current codebase.
I was able to reproduce in the recent dev builds. It's just enough to remove the initial comment in any versioned source and invoke the diff tool.
moving opened issues from TM <= 6.1 to TM=Dev
It seems to be working fine in a dev build. Plus the CustomFoldManager has recently been updated to use lexer tokens and the stacktrace no longer applies. Please reopen if this is still a problem.
Yes, it is very likely fixed. Verified.
