#205 Horizontal diffs shown for non-differing end of line

[Joe Peterson]

Hi! I seem to have found a case when a horizontal diff is showing differences that do not exist, and it also seems to depend on previous lines in a strange way. I am using xxdiff 3.2. I culled the example down to two 3-line files. Instead of attaching them, I'll inline them, since they are short:

04/17/2008,168.00
04/21/2008,168.00
05/08/2008,175.00

and:

2008-04-17,168.00
2008-04-21,168.00
2008-05-08,175.00

Note that the first field (dates) differs between the files, but the 2nd field does not. xxdiff shows the ",175.00" as differing on the 3rd line. If I switch from "multiple" to "single" horizontal diffs, the problem goes away. Also, if I remove, e.g., the first line in each file, the problem goes away (strange).

Thanks, Joe
