Bug in Compare By Content?

[Beats]

Sorry my English.

I don't sure it's a bug, but when I compare two files with, for example, the next content:
File1 -> abcdefghijklmndprst
File2 -> abczefghijklmnzprst
Only show "1 differences found", otherwise paint two letters in red.
In Total Commander same letters in different position is one difference?

I think that "difference" is meant for lines. It is the most efficient mode IMHO. Imagine comparing two HTML files. If you seen "2 differences found" message it might be obvious that two lines differ. Other way you could end up with "300 differences found". The speed could be painful too.

If I test with next files yet TC shows "1 differences found".

file1 ->
abcdefghi
jklmndprst
file2 ->
abczefghz
jklmnzprst

file1 ->
abcdefghi
jklmndprst
file2 ->
abczefghz
jklmnzprst

There is only one different block of characters!

HTH,

Indeed TC shows the number of blocks of lines which are different. It's the number of times you need to press "Next difference" to jump from the beginning of the file (when no difference is selected) to the LAST difference.

Thanks for yours answers.

isn't it behavior (show 1 difference found) a few confused, since on last text TC paints three letters in red?

Until when TC considers a text a block? In the page jump of the screen?

No, until it meets the first line without differences.

Sorry, but i don't understand that declaration. What is a line? It isn't where is reached end line (0x0D 0x0A or 0x0A) because in last example text should show two differences.

Please explain, if isn't bother.

I think I understood, "the first line without differences".
It text shows two differences:
text1 ->
abcdefghi
1234567890
jklmndprst
text2 ->
abczefghz
1234567890
jklmnzprst

Thanks.

Yes. Sequence of lines each containing some differences is treated like 1 difference (1 block).
