I've got a copy of Beyond Compare open, with two tabs already open. BC is minimised, and there are two large text files on my Desktop I'd like to compare.
I drag over both files (on the Desktop) so they're highlighted, right-click on one of them and select "Compare" from the context menu.
BC pops up, with a new tab for the text comparison. I instinctively use the mouse-wheel to start scrolling down the files to review the differences, but the focus is placed in the left-hand file field. Scrolling down the mouse wheel displays the drop-down box for the file name field, rather than scrolling down the compared contents.
To avoid this, I have to remember to click in the contents pane on one of the files before dragging.
Is this a behaviour that can be changed, either via a configuration setting, or (if not) in a later version of BC?
Thanks.
