Folder - Compare doesn't do anything

running 716 32 bit public beta on w10-64 bit

When I go to menu Folder - Compare and click, it doesn't do anything. No window opens, nothing at all happens.

Similarly pressing keyboard short Alt-V to compare doesn't respond at all.

Though I could bring the screen through Synchronize and then go to compare.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks.

In my case, I get stuck in compare view.
After Alt+V, I have to move from the current folder to get the normal view back. Pressing Alt+V again will do a new comparison, and will not return to the normal view.

Also in this compare view, the files that exist in both side are hidden. I think in some previous versions (or maybe in the old freecommander) the files that exist in both panels are unselected, but not hidden like it's the case now.

I'm not sure I haven't changed some settings that led to this behavior ...

@afh: uncheck Show only selected files option.
