[Bug 1783414] [NEW] Show side by side view of changes does nothing

[Anders Magnus Andersen]

Public bug reported:

In the update process I was notified that GRUB was changed (not the path
name /etc/default/grub) just GRUB. I choose the option to view a side by
side comparison.

The updater just moved on and kept my changed file. Nothing opened, no
warnings, it just moved on.
