Hi,

the file compare function does not highlight the differences correctly:

The wrong positions are marked.

This section of the forum is for TC 7.50 beta bug reports - the uploaded picture obviously show an earlier version of TC!

Sorry, I took the wrong picture! Here is the one made with TC 7.50 beta 3: http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?file=kzr266nm9fUj390.jpg
The problem is still the same.

Additionally there is a problem with text size: the g's are cut and the german texts don't fit into the buttons "voriger Unterschied", "nächster Unterschied".

This is NOT a bug. Compare doesn't make a byte by byte comparison on text mode, it compares by looking for inserted or removed text. For example, on line 6 it detects an inserted string
3731850CB221 in the left file. The same number of FF bytes are then too many near the end of the line in the other panel.

Hello !

…Additionally there is a problem with text size: the g's are cut and the german texts don't fit into the buttons…

• Just an aside : You are using a font size “10”, so IMHO, the issue is the used font size…
- Maybe it fits with a size “8”; or else, you could try a narrow font
- that we do often in French where the strings are also long-…
- Whether it's too small for your sight, you could set in <wincmd.ini> :
[Configuration] >> OverrideDPI=120

• As a friendly tip : You might save your captures as PNG, JPEG adds fake colours artifacts and is quite blurry,
thus is the worst format to read texts on a picture…
