"Empty Files" option missing for new comparisons

When you first start EDP, there is an bottom button named "Empty Files" so you can paste text in each side instead of referencing fixed files/directories. This is great, and I use it all the time.

If I do a comparison of a couple fixed files instead, and then want to do a new comparison using empty files, the option is no longer there, replaced with a "Cancel" button. I can't simply erase the file names to indicate that I want to use empty files, as it complains that it needs a file/directory path.

What is the procedure for comparing empty files after comparing existing files, other than to close and reopen the program?

You can use Files | Close Files menu command or Ctrl + L.
