Hi j.,
I'm responsible for the new and "improved" Tk diff and would like to
look into these problems. Send any screenshots and/or hate mail my way.
I'd also like to know what OS and Tcl/Tk version you're using.

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.
Yeah, the Files drop-down is a hack to work around problems with the
standard Tk menu widget when you have a diff with many files. It should
pop up a listbox just below the menu button that will allow you to
select the file you want to jump to. It shouldn't be showing the window
decoration/buttons, though.
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).
I'm not married to any of the styling. If Richard or somebody else wants
to change it to whatever other people prefer, be my guest.
