6.5 Patch 2 On a file, do CVS -> Search History. Then go to the diff view. The file revision shows, but the table is completely blank otherwise; no time, no user, no tags, and no commit comment. This view is now pretty useless. The tags column can be clicked on to show multiple tags, if they exist, but if the revision just has one tag, there is no way to see it. I had to track down a production issue this morning and had to go back and forth between WinCVS and Netbeans. I was under pressure to diagnose and issue and my frustration level went way up when I couldn't find the tag I was looking for. Fortunately, I soon realized the tag probably still existed, it was just that Netbeans was not showing it. (I could have used the summary view instead of WinCVS, but the format of this view was not helpful to find the information I needed.) I am putting this a P1 for 2 reasons: 1) I thought my tag was deleted which started me going down the completely wrong path to fix my problem. Had I not realized that NB was just not showing this information, I would have wasted a lot of time. 2) This compelled me to leave the application to find the answer.
Sorry, cannot reproduce. Please submit your message log. Please add screenshots of the Summary view and the Diff view in history panel. What look&feel do you use? Thanks
I am surprised it is not reproducible for you, since on my machine it is like this always. NB 6.1 still works though. I am using Windows Vista with the default look and feel for this platform. I tried --laf Metal and --laf Nimbus. Neither option affects the issue. netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xverify:none -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-Xmx384m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=200m -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true" netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12"

i was able to reproduce with Netbeans 6.5 and Java 1.6.0_12 Please could you try to install a daily build at http://bits.netbeans.org/download/trunk/nightly/latest/ and try it again? thanks
this definitely is no P1. All data missing in the diff are avialable in the summary view, so workaround exists and it also doesn't seem to be difficult to use -> P3 for now.
Now i have tested the 20090215 build and the problem seems to be fixed there.
isn't that another issue connected with JDK6u12 ? ... see issue 154624 ... fixes are available in 20090215 as well as it isn't reproducible with JDK6u11 or lower BTW: definitely not fixed, in case it works for you it may be worksforme, but I would like to know the reason

I didn't download the daily build, but I did confirm that the Diff view works correctly using 6.0_11
