When a history diff is run, either from the backup history or from a source control history, the diff window is modal. This is bad (imho).
My use case (verilog, vhdl, systemVerilog): I have a file (File A) that creates a component that is instantiated in another file (file B). The component file (A) has changed, and I need to incorporate the changes into the instantiating file (B). What I would like to do is diff the current version of file A against its previous version, and with the diff window open make edits in File B that reflect the changes. Because the history diff window is modal, I can't get to the editor to make changes.
Can you make that window normal (like a regular diff), and not modal? It seems like it should work just like any other file diff.
