It is a nuisance with FireFox. For a patch on the tracker, I would cut from the raw diff. Even with doc patches, for a serious review you need to apply and compile the patch (make html in case of the docs.) I know that and I would not commit an issue without doing that. I am talking about partial pre-commit reviews by a beginner who does not have the tools to do that. The kind that have been requested here on pydev.

I agree with Terry that this would be a useful feature to have integrated with the tracker. I'd use it. But until someone write it, it's an academic point.
