lets see if I can reproduce here. this is an edit. I will be clicking the dropdown next on save, and then view history (different order from repro steps)

Here's a screenshot of what I got making https://secure.phabricator.com/T6895#90476. I did the following

  • left a comment
  • edited the comment
  • clicked the carrot in the far right of the ui
  • selected 'view edit history'
  • took that screenshot

Am I not getting the reproduction steps right? Can you reproduce this issue here?

Nope, that's right. I can reproduce the issue here.

@Krenair is reporting that within the Edit History dialog we render a dropdown menu which does not actually work, not that "View Edit History" does not work. Specifically:

I think we should just hide these. The value of quoting an older version of a comment seems very small, and the complexity to hook them up isn't trivial.

  • Within the "View Edit History" dialog, we render dropdown menus which do not work. See screenshot immediately above.
  • Making these work is low-value and moderate-complexity, so let's just hide them.
  • Easiest fix is probably something like setHideCommentOptions(true) at the top level of PhabricatorApplicationTransactionCommentHistoryController, then pass it down the stack until you get to the dropdown rendering stuff.
