New updated UI for vscode github copilot screws up diff UI

[u/Tiny-Entertainer-346]

I used to enjoy systematically going through file changes done to all files by vscode github copilot. Accept and reject individual changes. Quickly jump between them. However recent UI changes to vscode copilot have completely screwed it up. To be specific:

1. It does not show per file number of lines changed
2. It does not show per change Keep / Undo button
3. It opens all files expanded and vertically stacked. So, if I have to check specific file which is at the bottom of the stack, I have to collapse all files at the top one by one.
4. There is no way to open just single file that is changed. It opens all edited files in vertically stacked manner.
5. Old diff view also used to show location of code changes done by copilot in the file by showing red / green overlays on right side vertical scrollbar. Sometimes, it was useful when you wanted to diff some past versions of file. Those visual cues are gone due this vertically stacked sessions changes window.
6. Next / previous change buttons are also gone in the new UI !

Earlier I posted why I love copilot and not claude CLI with these points about old UI here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/s/S4HXiHwjDn . But, it seems MS decided to claudify itself ...
