Thanks for the report. I submitted a fix for this into our development branch: all being well, that fix will be available from the next Canary release of Android Studio.

Thank you for your patience while our engineering team worked to resolve this issue. A fix for this issue is now available in:

• Android Studio Ladybug Feature Drop | 2024.2.2 Canary 1
• Android Gradle Plugin 8.8.0-alpha01

We encourage you to try the latest update.

If you notice further issues or have questions, please file a new bug report.

Thank you for taking the time to submit feedback — we really appreciate it!

Hm, I can't reproduce using the initial instructions: for me, changes in the diff window lead to a banner both over the diff window itself, and in the editor on the Gradle build file itself. Could you give a specific sequence of operations where you're still seeing the absence of a banner? (For example, are you closing/opening the Gradle build file editor before modifying the diff?)

Thanks. I'm not sure what's going on.

Is it possible for you to try reproducing in a current Meerkat canary from https://developer.android.com/studio/preview ? For me, those previews behave as I expected (the banner shows up in response to changes in the diff viewer). I'm not sure what's going on with Ladybug Feature Drop, but it would be good to eliminate one possible source of variation if possible.

Thanks, I will investigate why the fix seems to have disappeared from Ladybug Feature Drop.

The fixes for this issue are now also available in:

• Android Studio Meerkat Feature Drop | 2024.3.2 Canary 2
• Android Gradle Plugin 8.10.0-alpha02

If you notice further issues or have questions, please file a new bug report.

To update you on this:

I took a deeper look at the implementation of the change detector, and the banner displayer, and discovered a bit of a rats' nest. I've merged some fixes into our latest canary (as suggested by the above comment) and have also booked a meeting with owners to discuss ideas around redesigning / changing its implementation completely in order to make it more robust.

This bug might get more automated release notifications of the above kind as we make progress. Thanks once again.

Further fixes for this issue are now available in:

• Android Studio Meerkat Feature Drop | 2024.3.2 Canary 3
• Android Gradle Plugin 8.10.0-alpha03

We encourage you to try the latest update.
