Error description
In IBM Rational ClearCase Remote Client (CCRC) 7.1 and IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer (CTE), comment changes made to a checked out version are lost upon checkin. Steps to reproduce the issue: 1) In ClearTeam Explorer, checkout a file with the comment 'Checkout comment'. 2) While the file is still in a checked out state, right-click the filename and select Show Properties. 3) In the Properties window, click 'Version'. 4) Under 'Description', change the comment from 'Checkout comment' to 'Post-checkout comment'. Close the Properties windows. 5) Right-click the filename and select 'Check in'. Note the comment field displays 'Checkout comment', rather than 'Post-checkout comment'. 6) Selecting OK to complete the checkin will preserve the 'Checkout comment' description. Selecting cancel will result in the description still reflecting 'Post-checkout comment'. Workaround: Manually change the comment during the checkin operation.
