In Helios Compare With => History... opens a dialog with doesn't put changes into the current file.

It copies them to the left, but they don't end up in the real file. And this is a model dialog so I have to close it over and over to get each individual change into the current file.

This worked in the previous version and removing it reduces Eclipse's useability. It makes pulling individual changes from a previous version slow, unpleasant, and risky. The Replace With functionality doesn't copy individual changes. Is there any replacement for this lost functionality?

I tried searching on this problem, but the Helio documentation seems to be completely broken.

Though I don't know your exact steps, this works for me using 3.7 M7. If
it does not for you then please file a bug report against Platform
Compare with steps to reproduce the problem.
