Build: 200303272130 Hmm, I have a quite serious problem with the compare functionality. I have two versions of a file and one contains an if-clause with a tab-character at the beginning of the line and a closing bracket at the end. The other file is nearly identic but the if-clause has 8 spaces at the beginning and the closing bracket lacks! The compare of the two files shows the difference in the structure compate but in the files views there is NO sign of any difference!!! I will add the two versions of the file as attachement.
Created attachment 4907 [details] file with tab at beginning and closing bracket
Created attachment 4908 [details] file with spaces at beginning and without closing bracket
Indeed, if ignore whitespace is on and if two lines differ only by the number of repeated characters at the end of the line, they will be considered equal. So comparing "foo\n" and "fooo\n" results in the same problem. Thanks for finding this bug! Fixed for > N20030522
