Description Markus Keller

3.3 and I20070710-1416, was OK in 3.2.2

There are situations where the text compare viewer splits insertions into two changes. I'll attach two .txt files which show the difference.

In 3.2.2 and before, the added method endVisit(EnhancedForStatement) in CopyOfSuperTypeConstraintsCreator.txt was shown as a single insertion (good).
In 3.3, the insertion is shown as two separate insertions (rather hard to read).

This is not a Java compare problem (although the stripped-down example files contain Java code).

This could be a feature of the new compare algorithm.

Hooray, the fix for bug 210688 also resolves this problem.
