Description

I see the comment in the code,

https://github.com/umputun/revdiff/blob/052619343a6ccdeeff3319a52142b48b1f99f339/app/ui/mouse.go#L175-L176

I'm still reporting the issue because I don't understand why if vertical scroll works then one would intentionally break horizontal scroll.

Research direction

Start by reading app/ui/mouse.go at lines 175-176 and compare the handling of vertical and horizontal scroll. Reproduce the behavior in the TUI, then trace the nearby mouse-input path. Done means horizontal scrolling works without regressing vertical scrolling.
