I C.. Alright.. Need to fix this.

[jzoss]

Alright... I was working on this.. Can you tell me exactly how you opened them.. I was not able to recreate it yet.

[ddobrev]

@jzoss I can't either... I should've described the exact steps but back then it seemed to happen with any file. So please consider it done. In case it happens again, I'll reopen with precise instructions for reproduction. Thank you for taking the time to work on this. How have you been, after the moving and all?

[jzoss]

@ddobrev Moving was fine.. thanks for asking.. then I went and had another kid.. Anyway.. finally almost done building my office.. I do miss talking to all you fine people about this project.. Keeps me motivated.

[ddobrev]

@jzoss congratulations on your child! I'm happy the rest goes well too. About motivating you, it's very difficult with a product that already works so well. But I guess localization and an item for pushing in the menu for TGit could help even more.
