thanks for your interest in improving gnubiff. There will be no new
features in the 2.1.x branch of gnubiff only bugfixes. Currently
gnubiff 2.2.0 is in development.

I think gnubiff had this feature before it was multithreaded. At the
moment I don't know how difficult it is to add this feature again. But
as this feature is needed for fixing bug #1342877 (I think this bug was
reported by you) it will be added in a future version.

I added this request to the feature request list on sourceforge. I
don't know when we will add it but letting the user configure the
tooltip output is probably not a bad idea.
