[TC10.50rc3] Compare by Content - Ignore repeated spaces doesn't work in edit mode

[white]

Compare by Content:

While Case sensitive and currently selected Sync mode work while editing a line in Edit mode, Ignore repeated spaces seems to be always disabled when editing a line.

With Ignore repeated spaces enabled, compare for example a file containing:

Code: Select all

test1 test2   test3

with a file containing:

Code: Select all

test1      test2      test3

Click the Edit button and add some more spaces.

"Ignore repeated spaces" is only used to determine whether two lines are the same or not. Once you change anything within a line, they are not considered the same and the comparison within a line is started. In this comparison, "Ignore repeated spaces" is not used. I will add a note to the help to make that clear.

I think this is rather nonintuitive. Can you put it on your wish list?

It's probably not feasible due to how the comparison within a line works (finding the next match with the minimum distance).
