How do I reject just one photo in Lightroom Compare view?

In Lightroom 5 Compare view, pressing X seems to reject both photos. Is there a way to reject only the selected photo while comparing two images, without going back to Grid view?

In the Comparison view you have the "Select" image on the left and "Candidate" image on the right. By clicking on either image you will get a white border/line around the image. It's only this image that the "X" key will act upon, not both.
If it's the "Select" image then it will be flagged as rejected, if its the "Candidate" image then it will be flagged as rejected.
Note flagging either image as rejected does not remove them from the Comparison view.
Also note to swap the white border from "select" to "candidate" use the "\" (backslash) key.

Yes. In Compare view, Lightroom shows a Select image on the left and a Candidate image on the right. The X key applies only to the photo that is currently active, not both.
To choose which photo is active, click on the image so it gets a white border. You can also use the backslash key () to switch the white border between the Select and Candidate images. Once the correct photo is active, press X to flag only that image as rejected.
One thing to note: rejecting a photo does not remove it from Compare view immediately.
