Has "Show History for Selection" changed?
I've just updated to PhpStorm 2019.2.4 Build #PS-192.7142.41 Built on October 30, 2019
And the "Show History for Selection" tool seems to be operating differently than I remember. What I expected to see when selecting an area then choosing the tool was the history for that selected area. Instead I see the history for every change in the file, but only the selected area compared. The result is a TON of results at are not relevant to the selection. Has it always worked like this? Im not understanding how its useful.
What I was hoping to see was only changes that have happened to that selection.

Hm, just tried to check this feature on PhpStorm 2018.2.7 and it is exactly the same as in 2019.2.4.
Do you recall what version did you have before?
Also, according to this ticket, this was an issue for at least 5 years already:

I usually stay on the stable branches lately, so whenever the notice pops up I update. I've used this feature before when coding and getting to a point where what i'm trying to do is not working so want to roll back. Its always been useful from memory. I tried it just after the update and there was no history. Seemed strange.
The diff window shows it as if it's a valid diff. It looks like the left part is the end of the file (line 6502) and the diff on a right - is a new content after the line 6501.
Do you have another example that would clearly show the unrelated diff?
