Thread-topic: Show in > History command on a file

Right-click a file and chose: Show in > History

Expected: History view shows only those commits that changed the selected file.

However, the history view showed also commits that didn’t change the selected file.

Only with an additional click on the “Show all changes of Selected resource and its children”

the history view filtered the commit list to only those commits that changed the selected file.

From users perspective, I find this behavior non intuitive.
