Compare By Content, long lines not shown at all

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Compare By Content, long lines not shown at all

Post by *j.x »

If I compare two files that contains very long lines (6500 chars), the long lines are not shown. Well they are shown, but as completely empty. :?
If there is a difference in a long line, the line number is showing in red, but you can't tell the difference.

TC7.5 pb7 (have not checked if this bug is new, sorry)

I cannot confirm that, it may be a problem with your display driver. I can confirm that you cannot scroll such a long line fully to the right.

Seems to be correct. Probably my display driver.
It's my computer that's hiding important information for me :cry:

(Same as you noted, the scrolling to last character doesn't work on the other test machine.)

Thanks anyway!

It seems to be some sort of length limit of the TextOut/DrawText functions in Windows...

Just to say, that I'm also concerned by this problem. Would be nice if something could be done ...
