Description

When diffing two XML files the breadcrumbs only show the location in the target / new / right hand side file.
If you put the cursor on the other file then the breadcrumbs are not updated anymore.

The outline pane is completely empty.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by diffing two XML files in Visual Studio Code, moving the cursor between the files, and checking the breadcrumbs and outline pane. Trace the extension's diff, breadcrumb, and outline entry points to determine why only the target side updates; done means both sides show correct breadcrumbs and the outline is populated.
