Toolbar of the synchronize view doesn't change when swapping left and right #4255

Description

@sylvain-ilm

Steps to reproduce

From a fresh installation and clean workspace:

  • add a project from a repository and change a file
  • Right-click Team>Synchronize and switch to the "Team synchronizing" perspective
  • Double-click the changed file so that a compare editor opens.

I tried

  • Toggling "Swap left and right view" button in the compare editor -- whose default was recently changed in issue #3776

I expected: the synchronize view to change to reflect the new state :

  • change the direction of the arrows on icons in the toolbar
  • change the direction of the arrows on files in tree view

But got:
Nothing changed.
If I go back to the Java perspective and right-click Team>Synchronize another time, then the arrows on files in tree view are correct. I should perhaps open another issue on https://github.com/eclipse-egit/egit/issues
But the toolbar never changes leaving icons with opposite directions.

The same also happens with subversion.

Tested under this environment:

  • OS & version: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS
  • Eclipse SDK
    Version: 2026-09 (4.41)
    Build id: I20260818-2300

Community

  • I understand reporting an issue to this OSS project does not mandate anyone to fix it. Other contributors may consider the issue, or not, at their own convenience. The most efficient way to get it fixed is that I fix it myself and contribute it back as a good quality patch to the project.
