This is it, thank you. It wasn't clear to me what "Discard" meant. TextWrangler has a much more intuitive UI, where it shows in one window the list of chunks, and in the two side-by-side windows highlights them. The list window has prominent arrows pointing left and right.

A similar UI, with the right arrow disabled, would be much more intuitive.

Also, Xcode 7b allowed the right pane to be modified, I noticed once. Seems like they fixed that problem. It struck me as wrong, but I was never sure of the intent of that comparison editor.
