Side-by-side was the important part

Copying code from side by side view may or may not work depending on your browser.

It is a nuisance with FireFox. For a patch on the tracker, I would cut from the raw diff.

Even with doc patches, for a serious review you need to apply and compile the patch (make html in case of the docs.)

I know that and I would not commit an issue without doing that. I am talking about partial pre-commit reviews by a beginner who does not have the tools to do that. The kind that have been requested here on pydev.
