Double click in staging view doesn't open compare editor any more [message #1722480]

Hi,

before, when I double clicked on an unstaged change in the staging view,
this opened the compare editor. I don't know what happened, but now I
double click and it just opens the file. Help! I need the compare editor
back!

Thanks,
Felix

In recent versions of EGit there is a toggle button to toggle between "compare to predecessor" and "show file".
Older versions might be buggy, try to install latest release [1] or nightly-build [2] and check if this helps.

This just happens to me after updating to 2023-03 (4.27.0) - really makes me freak out :) Where is this toggle button? I can't seem to find it?!
