Description Iouri Goussev

Build Identifier: M20110909-1335

'Copy current change from right to left' button is dangerously close to 'Next difference'.

When user use 'Next difference' button to navigate change set, he may move cursor slightly and accidentally undo his changes. 

More space is needed between those two buttons. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click next difference
2. Move your cursor couple of pixels to the left.
3. Click, and your changes are lost.

I've been using compare editor for quite a while and I never had this problem. Buttons are separated with an extra separator and even if you click 'Copy current change from right to left' by accident your changes are not saved and you get a notice about changes closing the compare editor. A simple Ctrl+Z reverts the change. A minor issue for me.
