Comparing a file outside of the solution explorer makes it so that the compared file inside the solution explorer ends up uneditable.
Steps to recreate
Say I want to compare a file in my solution with a file in my downloads folder. I would right click on the file in the solution explorer and choose "Compare Files". Which brings up a file selection dialog and I would select the other file in my downloads folder.
Current behavior
The problem is, the file OUTSIDE of the solution ends up the right pane (editable) whereas the file INSIDE of the solution ends up on the left (uneditable).
Expected behavior
If I am comparing two files, one inside the solution the other outside the solution; the file inside the solution should be the one given the editable pane.
