Description

Forum thread: https://forum.playcanvas.com/t/version-control-issue/22623

On some monitor resolutions/zoom levels, the version control diff panel doesn't fit on the display.

eg

In general, we should always try to fit the UI to the bounds of the window.

As a quick fix, maybe we should allows ESC hotkey to dismiss the window?

Research direction

Start by locating the version control diff panel in the editor UI and review the linked forum thread for the reported monitor and zoom conditions. Verify the panel's dismiss controls at constrained window sizes; done means the dismiss X remains usable, or ESC reliably dismisses the panel, without the UI exceeding the window bounds.
