Hello,
just to let you know ...
(This happens with Debian's git 1.7.2.3.)
If gitk only shows a few commits such that the canvas containing the list isn't completely filled, I can scroll the commits down using the mouse wheel. Then clicking on a commit doesn't work anymore. I have to click in the upper area of the canvas to change the focus, that feels scary. I would expect that scrolling doesn't work at all.
When changing the highlight drop box to "touching paths" and entering a string starting with / sometimes a message on the console is printed ("oops, git diff-tree died") sometimes together with an error dialog. I would expect here that this path is smoothly ignored. (Maybe unless the path specifies the working copy?).
Best regards Uwe
