Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

When I try to show an inline diff, the diff viewer closes itself after less than a second.

To open the inline diff, I click on the fat yellow/green/red margin.

As far as I know, this bug was already there last time I tried Zed (~3 months ago).

This sounds really silly, but do you perhaps have a second (maybe wireless) keyboard with something pushing the Escape key?

[alexkirsz]

@notpeter I have two keyboards: my MBP's keyboard, which I don't use, and my wireless keyboard, which is how I interact with the editor. I don't think the Escape key is being pressed spuriously, as it would likely show in other parts of my workflow, but I will check.

[alexkirsz]

Just had this issue occur again, and I can confirm that my escape key wasn't being pressed.

Is this still happening for you @alexkirsz?

[alexkirsz]

Haven’t had this issue occur in a while, closing.

Hey @alexkirsz , has this happened again? Sorry, I know it's been a minute, we're working on diff improvements now and haven't trouble reproducing.
