not a big deal but slightly irritating:

the tk-window opened by `diff --tk' is "editable", i..e one can modify the displayed diff text (w/o any real effect, of course). I don't know Tk, but maybe there's an option to make the window readonly in order to avoid any
potential confusion (since many graphical diff/merge tools _do_ allow to
edit such diffs)?

I don't presume this info is relevant here, but it happens on a current
mac with fossil 1.26


I just tried it here and couldn't get it to "edit". Maybe this has already
been fixed?

you are right. it happenend with fossil version 1.26 [c9cb6e7293] 2013-06-18 21:09:23 UTC but current leaf revision produces a quite differently looking Tk window not exhibiting the reported problem anymore.
indeed, things are moving fast with fossil ;-)

however, regarding the _new_ Tk window (as of fossil version 1.26 [13161f39aa] 2013-08-20 11:29:01 UTC) I see the following issues:

compared to the "old" one, font size now is at the limit of comfortable readability, i.e. is too small (I could send you a screen shot offline, if you are interested...) and the new central "Files" drop-down menu (I presume that's what it should be?) is broken does in fact _not_ drop down but opens a new small Tk window about the size of the menu button itself, containing the file name and three inactive close/minimize/maximize buttons. it disappears when clicking somewhere else in the first Tk window but not when releasing/clicking the menu button.

so apart from the spurious "edit" feature I find the alt variant more usable (the font issue alone leads to this) and also cleaner (the black horizontal and vertical bars are distracting in my view and the bare bones `sdiff' look of the old variant was more in accord with my taste).
