Error description

• In the IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer, the 'Show Version Tree'
  and 'Show History' options for dynamic views produce blank
  windows when ClearTeam Explorer is invoked from a setview
  context.
  
  Steps to reproduce the issue:
  
  1) On a linux or unix system, set to a dynamic view with
  'cleartool setview ?view?'.
  
  2) From the same setview context, launch ClearTeam Explorer
  (/opt/ibm/RationalSDLC/clearcase/RemoteClient/ctexplorer).
  
  3) Select an existing dynamic view in ClearTeam Explorer and
  navigate down to a file element.
  
  4) Right-click the element and select 'Show Version Tree' or
  'Show History'.  The display window will be blank.
  
  
  Workaround:
  
  Do not launch ClearTeam Explorer within a setview context.
