Describe the issue

When reordering commits(rebase), I will occasionally see commits disappear, unapply and reapply the branch and the commit will reappear.
But this phenomenon is not inevitable, but the probability of its occurrence is not low

How to reproduce

reordering commits

Expected behavior

disappear:

reappear:

Thanks a lot for reporting!

It's hard for me to imagine how this is possible, as it seems to be flip-flopping between the states.

Next time, after a commit seems to be disappearing, could you hit Cmd + R to refresh the user interface? I'd like to find out if this is an issue with the UI state, or something 'persisting' related to the data produced by the backend.

Thanks a lot.

@Byron I see this issue in the latest changelog, can you confirm if it has been fixed?

[Byron]

Unfortunately it's hard for me to say if PRs aren't linking within this issue. I am also having trouble to bring up the changelog of the current version, or past versions for that matter.

Thus I'd hope you could watch out for the issue while using GitButler in the latest version, as chances are that it the issue might be fixed.
And if not, let's try to press Cmd + R to see if a UI refresh fixes it.

Actually I realized that release-notes are now part of the respective GitHub release.

From there, I see…

Fixes a bug where when commits were reordered, the commit timestamps were not updated - because GitHub uses timestamps for commit ordering this was sometimes creating a confusing output

The question is if this issue is due to reordering of commits so they disappear, or if it is something else entirely. You can probably watch out for that as well - is the disappearing commit just somewhere else?

In any case, I'd hope that the issue is related to the release note.

I've just had this happen again, and the ui refresh doesn't fix it, you need to reapply the branch to fix it!

Thank you, this helps! So it's some information that the backend produces that makes the UI either hide the commit, or it's not made available to begin with.
Since re-applying fixes the issue, it's probably not really lost, just 'not visible' or hidden due to some logic.
