kdiff3 missing merge menu entries (compared to kdiff3-qt)

Hello,
the kdiff3 documentation states that the merge menu of kdiff3 contains entries like 'choose "A", "B" or "C" everywhere' (http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/doc/merging.html)
Those entries are missing in repos package kdiff3.
The aur package kdiff3-qt (esp. not kdiff3-git) contains those entries.

Why has the official arch package less functionality than the official release?

It seems that arch is using that new version of kdiff3 https://github.com/KDE/kdiff3
I also noticed that copy pasting in the editor is not working with that version so I am switching to kdiff3-qt for now.

I don't see where to report bugs to the github kdiff3 either.

That documentation refers to an obsolete version of kdiff3. The current version is at https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/extrage … index.html

I don't see where to report bugs to the github kdiff3 either.
