Hello,

I am trying to use Reviewboard. On most cases it works fine but we have one file with around 50000 line\2.5 MB - C#. Everytime I submit diff for this file, no matter how big or small the diff is, the swirlie never stops spinning and diff is NEVER displayed. Is this known problem and do we have resolution for this?

Thanks in advance,
-Neel.

A file that large is just too large for anyone to review and for a browser to render. It really should be split up. We won't be able to optimize for a file that size, mostly because a browser just won't handle it and generating a diff from it would just take too long.

One thing that may help is turning off syntax highlighting.
