This is exactly what I was thinking of. At the moment I'd vote for bundling the old hgk/"hg view" with tortoisehg because of the error we're talking about (which is quite a showstopper for me). 

Talking about misfeatures: clicking on revision zero blocks the browser for quite a long time. Maybe one should simply suppress displaying file contents in this case just as "hg view" did?

I only have four repos here, but it happens on all of them. They only have five to 47 revisions. Two of them do have a completely linear history. The bug becomes visible just after starting the changelog viewer so I don't have to do anything special.

I already mentioned that some of the wrong lines change their content depending on the position of the mouse cursor. Now I just noticed that moving another window over those lines and revealing them afterwards results in graphics errors or making the lines show the summary of some other revision -- the one which is shown seems to depend on how you move the window around.

In any case, wrong lines seem to display the summary of some set of other revisions, but never (no matter how I move the mouse or a window above it) their own summary.

Looks like a really nasty bug. Hard to describe and seems to happen only to me and on this machine (however, I may install and test it on a colleagues machine). Maybe it is just hidden somewhere in the widget set or the table widget or whatever...

This is Windows 2000, Service Pack 4.

Hopefully there is any way I can help in this case.

Best regards,
Jens
