When Compare UI cannot determine type of files to compare it falls back to simple text compare. It locates a text merge viewer by looking for a content merge viewer extension for "txt" extension. It should also consider content merge viewers binded to the txt content type.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
