Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 Hi @birgire thanks for opening this ticket. It is clear the display needs
 improvement here to make it clearer whet the user is seeing.

 An important point (that confuses many people) is that **the two columns
 always represent what was removed in the left hand column and what was
 added in the right hand column**. (except in the filter enabled single
 column view where additions and deletions are displayed in a single
 column).

 Changing the placement of From/To to above the columns will further
 confuse things. Maybe we can instead add column headers that say "Added"
 and "Removed" to make it clear these aren't before/after columns.
