Commit Dialog: Keep Selected Files After Returning from Warning / Error Review
Answered
After I select some but not all of the unstaged files for commit put in my commit message and click commit, I may be presented with a warning. Such as a left-behind To-Do comment.
If I choose to review the error and I resolve it. Then I click commit again, my commit message is still there but my subset of unstaged files I had previously selected for the commit are lost. All of the unstaged files are selected.
Is there a way to have the commit message remember both my file selections and my draft commit message after dismissing and returning to the dialog during a review?

Hello jfoster

Could you also clarify which version of PyCharm are you running?
Thanks for the reply and link @...
I see that the non-modal version retains the check box.
I tried that commit workflow when I got the handy notification of its existence a little while back.
The thing is, I rejected it because it did not seem to offer a good layout for looking at the diff changes. For example, when you click on individual file names, the diff preview is updated.
I had a look at the non-modal version again now, and perhaps using a variety of local changes or the shelf how I'm supposed to use this?
Even if intellij has a better idea for how the commit workflow should work, I think the existing modal should get this fix to retain the file selection list.
Here's my version info:
PyCharm 2020.1.1 (Professional Edition)
Build #PY-201.7223.92, built on April 29, 2020
