    Anyone else seeing this... 1. Open solution under git 3. Down in the lower rigt corner, select Master 3. Down in the lower rigt corner, select a different branch 4. From the Git menu, select Manage Branches 5. Right click Master. On mine I see "Merge 'master' into 'master'" If, in the lower right corner of VS, I choose a different branch, then close & reopen Manage Branches, everything looks fine.

    If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

      Same here - it's a new "febugature" in v16.9: Visual Studio Merge Branches showing wrong branch name - Visual Studio Feedback[^]

        Ok thanks. They just changed the Git UI in VS not too long ago. I just can't understand why MS keep changing things around!! If it's not broken, DON'T FIX IT!

          the new Git view doesn't seem to make things any easier. The thing that bugs me the most is the lack of the back button. You click a commit (at the top of the panel) to view the changes, click the next commit, then realise you want to go back to the previous you just viewed and...too bad. Why take that away?

          cheers Chris Maunder

            I wholeheartedly agree! Also, if moving things around requires dropping useful features (e.g. initiating a PR directly from VS after pushing), maybe don't do it. Maybe wait until you've figured out how to provide feature parity. Just sayin' :rolleyes:
