Build Identifier: Version: Indigo Service Release 1 Build id: 20110916-0149 In Compare Editor sometimes too many characters are marked as chenged (even if they are not). See screenshot. The '/>' part in the last line is higlighted on the left side, even if is is not a change. Interestingly a very similar change (removed '</a>' text) in the lines before that are correctly marked (just the 3 removed characters are highlighted on the right pane). For reference, the text is: left (Local): <img src="<c:url value='/images/xxx.gif'/>" hspace="47" width="200"/> right (remote BASE): <a href=""><img src="<c:url value='/images/ess.gif'/>" hspace="47" width="200"/></a> The plugin spy says: Active Part (Default Compare Editor) The active editor class: CompareEditor The contributing plug-in: org.eclipse.compare (3.5.201.R37x_v20110817-0800) The active editor identifier: org.eclipse.compare.CompareEditor The active menu contribution identifiers: org.eclipse.compare.CompareEditor The compared file is checked out from a SVN repository and after changing it I selected the context menu item Compare With / Base Revision. The SVN plugin is: Subclipse (Required) 1.8.4 org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.feature.group tigris.org Reproducible: Didn't try
Created attachment 209393 [details] Screenshot of problem
I created two text files containing lines from comment 0 and compared them with each other. I get the same result as in attachment 209393 [details]. I played a little with the content and noticed that if, after /> I add an alphanumeric character or white space and then some text it's not marked as a change, but when I add non-alphanumeric as <>/+_ etc. than I get the whole sequence as change. It seems to me that compare editor tries to form the content in words and a sequence of non-alphanumeric characters is treated as one word.
Duplicate of bug 216707
Created attachment 236228 [details] Screenshot of problem I still see this with Eclipse 4.3.1 (Kepler SR1), while bug 216707 was marked FIXE years ago. As I did not have the files from the original report, I just created two files dummy.txt and dummy.xml and put this contents in them: dummy.txt: /images/xxx.gif'/>" hspace="47" width="200"/> abc def blahblah.... (more lines of different text) dummy.xml: /images/ess.gif'/>" hspace="47" width="200"/></a> abc def foo_bar_baz... also some more lines Then I selected both and did Compare With / Each Other Again, the same problem happens as in original report. Screenshot attached
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. As such, we're closing this bug. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. 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. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
this still happens in this version: Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers (includes Incubating components) Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0) Build id: 20200615-1200
