I often find it awkward and non-intuitive, but have lived with it. Your idea to keep the left had code permanently the current-version would definitely make it more intuitive, but just another idea... In the bottom panes, both "side-by-side" and "diff", there is green & red highlighting. What about using the same highlight colours in the top pane to show which "version" the coloured code relates to. So for example, when opened, in the top pane the first line as the current-version would be highlighted green, as would the left pane. The second line would be highlighted red as the most recent previous-version, as would the right-pane. Now selecting an item in the top-pane moves the red highlight and changes the right-pane - which would effectively per Denis' proposal. But you might also ctrl-click in the top pane to move the green-highlight which changes the left-pane. Then perhaps "Revert" should not be a menu item in the top-pane (since there are two selections), but should have Revert menu item in both left-pane and right-pane. cheers -ben
