How can I make SourceTree display file changes in the File Status view?

[wj]

os: mac os 14.6.1

sourcetree: 4.2.8(265)

and i download sourcetree from here

TLDR:

I don't have the right-hand side part shown in the picture below. How can I get SourceTree to display the right-hand side part(the "green plus sign icon file.py" part):

i am not the fresh for sourcetree, i used sourcetree for 10 years, both mac and windows, i love sourcetree, when i into a new company

I'm not new to using SourceTree; I've been using it for about 7 or 8 years, which covers almost my entire career. I've used it on both Mac and Windows platforms, and I really love SourceTree. Whenever I join a new company, I always recommend it to my colleagues who haven't used it yet.

Recently, I joined a new company and started using a Mac laptop. After using it for a while, I realized that I can't see file changes in the SourceTree's File Status view. I'm not sure if this issue is new or has always been there, but I just noticed it today. The first time I used SourceTree was on a Mac laptop, and if my memory serves me right, I was able to see file changes in the File Status view back then. Also, just yesterday, I used SourceTree on my own Windows laptop, and the File Status view there showed file changes just fine. I've been searching around in SourceTree for a while but couldn't find any settings to adjust, and even uninstalling and reinstalling didn't help. So, I'm posting here to ask for your advice.

any advice is appreciated

i tried another version, i download a archived version from this page: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/download-archives, i chose a version that was closest to version 4.2.8(265): 4.2.7, then i saw the file diffs in file status view, just like the picture shown above

so i think may be its a bug of 4.2.8?
