This is bug 800.

daviddavid

Maybe mention bug 193? (it's not actually closed, but this is part of it)

daviddavid

We usually call this "Compatibility Changes"

This does allow diffing with image attachments.

We should probably credit Ryan Done and Vlodymyr Lyubinets for the initial work here.

mike_conleymike_conley

We should write his name as he does.

daviddavid

It's not any "faster" than a single click, it's just that previously this would fail in an awkward way.

Should be bug 193, not 1931

    1. This isn't that bug. This is a new feature Mike put in that lets you double-click anywhere on a line to leave a comment, instead of having to move your mouse over the line number and click.

    These are only for diff fragments in reviews, not the diffviewer, if you're talking about this and this, respectively. If this is what you are talking about, these can probably be left out because they are fixes for a feature that wasn't released before 2.5.
