Package: dwdiff
Version: 2.1.4-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream
Contrary to wdiff --avoid-wraps, dwdiff extends delete/insert fields
to newlines. So, when using coloring[*], "less" cannot be used as a
pager (and I'm not aware of any pager that would work).
[*] e.g.
dwdiff -w $'\033[30;41m' -x $'\033[0m' -y $'\033[30;42m' -z $'\033[0m'
Note that with this example, this may also give incorrect background
coloring, but wdiff has the same issue, and I think that this is due
to terminal ugliness ("less" avoids that, fortunately).
