No. If a commit fails, TSVN should save the comment and automatically
load the dialog with the same comment when the user goes to commit
again. There is a minimum 90% probability they will do the same thing
again.
_OR_
Yes...and the user should have to push a button labeled something like
"Insert" to actually insert the text. Right now the combo box is
responding to an OnChange() event (or equivalent) and inserting the text
at the last known position...but that may not be where I wanted it to
go...so maybe there should be two buttons: "Copy to clipboard" (or just
"Copy") and "Insert" (or "Auto Insert"). I'd have to see the UI
positioning of the buttons to determine the exact wording.
_OR_
Both except the MRU is blank because the dialog is already loaded with
the last text used.
Also, the combo box is in the wrong position. Most users expect MRUs
like this one to appear above the text box the MRU refers to. Software
developers can handle shifts like that because we are used to awkward
environments, but I view TSVN as eventually being a tool used by the
average Microsoft Word document user to track their changes.
