Description Antonin Nebuzelsky 2012-02-17 10:00:39 UTC 
When navigating through history rows in History tab, I want to always see Textual version of the diff.

When I switch to Textual it should be preserved as I navigate through rows of the table.
Comment 1 Tomas Stupka 2012-02-17 11:05:44 UTC 
see two problems here:

1.) the diff view in the history tab doesn't behave the same way like other versioning diff views do in case they are setup with graphical and textual mode - once the textual mode was selected for a specific revision it should stay selected even if the user leaves and selects it again. 

2.)

the versioning diff views in general as well as the diff api do not support this behavior. The mode selected is diff internal and applies only to the current diff view - filed issue #208552 to cover the necessary api change in the diff module
