Problem to solve

When working on an MR, our current UI makes it inefficient to make further changes to that MR. We can see some of that when users use workarounds to quickly make changes, like creating a suggestion and them applying that themselves.

There are also other ways, like making these changes in the Web IDE or their local IDE, but all of them require the user to move out of the context of what they were looking at in that moment.
