Problem conclusion

• THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED ON CATIA VERSION V5R21 GA level.
  NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL ALSO BE FIXED ON V5R20SP1 AND
  ALSO ON V5R19 SP7.
  Additional Closure Information:
  Technical explanation of the defect:
  Two problems that are specific when the command "Compare
  Parts" is interrupted by the command "Save Management":
  - the preview in Save Management is not up-to-date because
  there is no refresh of the visualization by the dialog when
  the command "Compare Parts" is interrupted.
  - the document is seen as modified when the command is
  interrupted since it is not modified when the command exits
  by the button Cancel.
  .
  Technical explanation of the correction:
  - the preview is corrected by resetting the temporary colors
  that were used in the compare preview (double window).
  - the document seen as modified when the command is now
  corrected.
  .
  Possible by-pass and/or correction limitation:
  The behavior now is that the color visualized in the Save
  Management preview is now white (no color at all). This
  missing color is temporary because if there are several
  documents in session, pointing another document in the Save
  Management window refreshes the display. Or if you cancel and
  relaunch the Save Management command the visualization is
  refreshed.
