I take it the "magic wand button" is the check mark on the upper right that says "Pin View (Alt-V)". When I pin the view the view of the file in Qgit locks to the selected file but the External diff seems to stay the same. The External diff appears to show my last change to the file; changing the change-set selection doesn't seem to change anything with the view pinned.

ok, I suspect that's an easy one.

I'm not sure how I get into this state either, I'll try to recall how I get into this state the next time it occurs.

I'm running 2005 Limited Edition; I wonder if QT4 even existed then. Think it's worth messing with QT4 just to upgrade to you latest version? Some of these graphics libs can be bear to install from src.
