The netbeans.org law is to put result of commit message into the issue resolution. I've just commited NbKeymapTest.java rev. 1.13 and all I see is output in form of table. There is nothing I could copy! This is prevents the internal client to be used for development of netbeans. My simplest suggestion is to add action Copy to popup menu of the output. My enhancement request is to generate nice output connected to NetBeans WebCVS that would use links to diffs: #39221: Must be executed in AWT eq thread http://www.netbeans.org/source/browse/core/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/core/NbKeymapTest.java.diff?r1=1.2&r2=1.3
The table there because of the UI unification with JavaCVS. JavaCVS had there a "View Log" button, but this button was not a part of UI specification. I understand that this is a problem for users that need to copy the commit logs somewhere. This is "Save To File..." popup menu item, but it's not much comfortable for this purpose. I use a text output from "Commit Command" from Runtime tab as a workaround, but this is something that ordinary user can not find out. Gabo, do you have any objections agains adding the "Copy" popup menu item?
This is actually considered as a regression and it's suggested to solve it by adding back "View Log" action. There is no natural place for a button, so it's suggested to put it on a popup menu. Copy action upon a table, that would copy the whole log output, is considered to be confusing. In the log dialog you will be able to copy just what you need. A better solution is desired for promotion D.
Some more observations: 1) I'll name the action "View Text", which is more intuitive IMHO. 2) The action should be present only on GUI visualizer. Otherwise it's strange when the same text output that is already visible in the text output can be viewed in another window. 3) "Save To File..." does not actually work on GUI visualizers. It needs to be reimplemented anyway to save the *whole* output, not just what's visible.
It's necessary to fix issue #39383 first.

View Text is available in popup menu on table, but not on the rest of the gray area.
I know. Is it a problem? It's technically very hard to display the action outside of the table. Perhaps the table component can be expanded if it wouldn't look bad.
I think it is a problem, but small. Why it is hard to display the popup there? I can see "save to file" in popup on gray area and that has to be provided by vcs, is it not?
The popup was added also on the scroll pane. It should be visible correctly now: /cvs/vcscore/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcscore/ui/AbstractOutputPanel.java,v <-- AbstractOutputPanel.java new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6
> Why it is hard to display the popup there? I was afraid that when I add the popup on the scroll pane, the "View Text" action will be visible even when it should not be. But apparently it seems to work good.
It should be "RESOLVED FIXED". Reopening...
Fixed.
