Description Nick Edgar CLA 2002-12-12 11:30:05 EST 
build I20021210

In a compare view, I can currently adjust the split between the two sides by 
dragging the middle area in the header.
This should also be supported in the middle area below.

Someone told me that it's now possible to copy a diff by clicking on the square 
in the middle of a diff spline.  If so, I no longer think it makes sense to 
give the area sash behaviour.  There would probably be confusion if the user 
misses one of the squares while moving the mouse a little bit and the area 
moves.

Yes, indeed I've turned of the Sash-behavior exactly for that reason (if you toggle the 
preference to the old style, the sash behavior should come back).
However, I will try whether it is really a problem to have both kinds of interactions.
