Defect #3328
closed
Diff-link displayed when on old page-version links to wrong version-diff
Added by Mischa The Evil almost 16 years ago.
Updated over 13 years ago.
Description
Best way to show this is using a screenshot:
In the above screenshot the current version of the page is 42. When I want a diff between current version 42 and version 41 the url should be: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineInstall/diff?version=42.
The current behaviour produces the url http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineInstall/diff?version=41 as visible in the screenshot. That URL outputs the differences between version 41 an version 40.

The screenshot shows version 41 and that's why you get a link to the diff between 40 and 41. IMHO, this behaviour makes sense.
But what is displayed can be misleading: Version 41/42 (diff) means that you are viewing version 41 out of 42, it doesn't mean that the diff link will show you the differences between 41 and 42. If you're looking at version 30, you'll see Version 30/42, and the diff will show you the changes in version 30.
If you want to see differences between 41 and 42, go to the revisions list and click 'View changes' (by default, it will show the diff of the last revision).
