Diff window caption should contain between which revisions diff has been made. Also tooltip for diff tab could contain this info plus eventually some more.

It already does! "CVS Revision ..." is printed below the file scroll pane. When the working file is compared with some revision, "Working File" is printed there. What additional information would you expect there or at the tooltip? I can imagine the file path and the FS display name as the tooltip (the same as for other opened files). Do you mean this?
No. Information you are talking about are displayed in the panel, not in caption (title) of its window so are not visible when other window is selected. Caption could look like this Diff: Foo.java <1.14, WORK> As an additional information that could be displayed below the file scroll pane are numbers of changes - e.g. in form Total: X Added Y Removed Z Changed U so user will see this first info at a glance. This could be also in tooltip.
Previous comment is from me :)
Can this be revised by someone from UI? The caption will get longer by this change, but if it's O.K. from UI, I can implement it. The additional information in the form Total: X Added Y Removed Z Changed U can be below the right file.
UI keyword added.
