Cannot save changes made in diff view

[Olatunji-Longe]

Cannot save changes made in diff view. This issue has been closed in 2015, but still exixts even in 2017. Why was it closed?

Add on line 158 of main.js:

MainViewManager.setActivePaneId(panes[0])
var document = DocumentManager.getCurrentDocument()
document.setText(compareView.editor().getValue())

it will copy the modified content to the left pane document

In my installation is not line 158, M4TH76's patch put to line 156 after else { ,
and run perfectly with following patch.

I can confirm the same behaviour, changes I made in the diff view are not saved when I leave the view.
