Correct. The new output looks a lot less cluttering and I like it very much, but it is confusing to me on one count. I clicked one arrowhead pointing downward, expecting that the pane would jump scroll to show the counterpart arrowhead, and was dissapointed that it did not happen. I could click the "Parent" link at that point, but then the upward arrow was above and outside the visible portion of that pane, which broke visual continuity and I lost track at that point. I think my being color challenged exacerbated the resulting confusion; otherwise I could have probably found the line with the same color as the color of the downarrow I clicked. > http://ozlabs.org/~paulus/gitk/gitk.hs I first thought you rewrote it in Haskell ;-).
