I've had the exact same utterly annoying experience. I typically will have 3-5 windows open with multiple documents in each, but have only occasionally gotten the compare front documents command to work correctly in the latest version after relying on it routinely during debugging phases with earlier versions of BBEdit. This is one of my favorite productivity features of BBEdit and I can't for the life of me figure out why it keeps grabbing random, even minimized, documents to compare rather than the actual 2 front documents.
