Yes, and finally the only fix that I found was to open an external text
editor to write my comments while comparing files, then copy-paste them
to the comment dialog...

Maybe I could enter a new "enhancement" in the issue tracker
(http://subclipse.tigris.org/project_issues.html)? It would be a place
to precise the usability of the commit/compare dialogs.

Any thoughts?
