If I open IDEA when offline from CVS, it appears that the change markers usually present in the gutter margin are no longer there. This happens in the 7.0M2 build but I think it may have started a bit earlier, although I can't be sure.

open some idea project associated with cvs
make the cvs server disconnected
when some cvs operation fails, choose 'work offline'
make some changes in any file: no change markers are shown. After restart - same problem.
restore connection to server: markers are shown normally

n/r now for text files; for files added with -kb option (as binary) the problem still exists, but this is not a bug probably

Thank you for looking at this problem. Unfortunately it is still broken for me, even with the released copy of 7.0. When I am working at home. I start up IDEA. I have an IP connection to the net but the cvs server at the office is not visible. After the project loads, I get a dialog that says the cvs server is not available. I choose to work offline. The change markers do not appear. The modified files are correctly coloured blue though.

Perhaps I am doing something wrong? I never had this problem with the previous 6.x version of IDEA though. Are you sure it is really fixed?

This issue could arise on account of local history clean up. If you have a file that was registered in local history more than 3 days ago, or if local history was cleaned up (was broken, was updated after new idea version installed). Could it possible be the reason of your problem?

I could be local history so I did another experiment. I opened a modified file when I was offline and confirmed that no change markers were present. I made a change to this file and recompiled the project. I used the Show Local History feature to confirm that the change was recorded in local history. Yet there are still no change markers shown (even after restarting IDEA). I am not sure if this matters or not but the Work Offline menu item under Version Control->CVS never gets a tick, even when the Work Offline dialog comes up shortly after opening IDEA and I select the Work Offline option. If I subsequently go to this menu and select it, the tick appears but it makes no difference to whether the change markers are shown or not.

I meant that for change markers to works it should relevant local history revision exist. That is if the file was checked out 5 days ago and local history was build about 5-4 days ago than it certain that this revision was cleaned up.

If it is so, I will figure out that could we do to solve this problem.

There seems to be an intermittent problem? Over the past couple of weeks use, sometimes the change markers do appear and then the very next time I open IDEA offline, they are missing again. And then the next time they are there again (for the very same files).
