Re-add the "current line" DIFF pane at the bottom of the Changes pane
Previous versions of SmartGit showed a small pane at the bottom of the Changes pane which showed the DIFF of the current/selected line. After upgrading to the new version (which supports Unified and Side-by-side DIFF), that "current line diff" pane is gone, and I cannot find any options/settings to re-enable it. Please add it back. It is a VERY useful feature, especially when the main Changes pane is in side-by-side mode (since you simultaneously get the best of both modes).
BAD, I'M UNSATISFIED
I think that this RFE was declined without sufficient cause. The given reason for declining it is inaccurate, IMO. See my reply below.

Yes, this line is gone because the unified diff solves this purpose.
I strongly disagree that the Unified mode "solves the problem" that the removed feature solved.
I like the side-by-side view for reviewing many kinds of changes, but it makes it harder to see small intra-line changes.
And the Unified diff makes it harder to see relative size of the before/after sections.
So in the new version I'm now forced to swap back and forth between the 2 modes, which is both irritating and also inferior to the previous behavior (of "simultaneous side-by-side plus mini-unified"). Even if the mode switch is easy, it still results in a refresh of the Changes pane which requires my eyes to reacquire the code block I'm trying to review after each mode switch. Not a good UX, and results in much more visual strain and effort vs the previous behavior.
Please reconsider bringing the mini-unified sub-pane feature back, at least as an option.
I also agree with this comment and would like to have this back.
