Package: vim-gtk3 Version: 2:8.0.0095-1 Severity: normal Hello, I often run vimdiff on files which are almost the same, unfortunately the major difference are line breaks. So I need to manually align line breaks to actually see the true differences.
At some stage I align the line breaks for the last line. Often, the
last line in both files are the same or very similar, however, vimdiff
does not show this anymore (it does in older versions).
I created the following artifical test case to illustrate the problem
(cf. the attached files datei1 and datei2).
Run:
vimdiff -u NONE -U NONE -N datei1 datei2
And execute the following key sequence:
Shift-J e → a <Enter> <Esc> Shift-J e → a <Enter>
The last two lines are now identical (they only contain the word
»rows«), but vimdiff (in the current version) does not show this.
(This is an artifical case, ordinarily the last line contains many
words, so it is not easy to spot if they are actually identical).
To really see the a proper diff, you need to save the changed file,
quit vim and rerun the vimdiff command from above.
