Git Beta: File and line focus is lost when triggering git diff from the editor

[andreasvh-conceto]

Summary

After creating/modifying multiple files in a git repo and executing the git:diff command from the editor, the diff view opens but does not retain the original file and cursor position. This can cause confusion and disrupts workflow context.

Information: I use vim mode. But the error should be reproducable even without using vim mode.

Steps to trigger the problem:

1. Open a git project
2. Add the following files with (filename and order of the creation could be relevant) and write some text with several lines inside, save each of them a.txt, c.txt , b.txt.
3. Go to the b.txt file and place the cursor somewhere in the middle in a line

4. Execute the git:diff command and look, where the cursor is placed

Actual Behavior:
The git diff view opens, but the last file in the git diff list is focused.

Expected Behavior:
When the git diff view opens, the cursor should retain focus on the original file and line position in the editor from which the git:diff command was triggered.
