Version: 3.2.90 (using KDE 3.2.0, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r4, propolice) OS: Linux (ppc) release 2.4.24-ben1 intra-diff highligting is nice, but often unreadable: kompare tryes too hard to find a difference so it ends with wrong highligting.

Ok, i know it is not perfect but how do you want it to be shown then ?
Oh and for the record the highlighting is not wrong, this is the minimal change between the 2 strings :) Not much i can do about it honestly expect rewrite the algorithm entirely which i am not very interested in.
Yes, I mean "minimal change" :) I know this is not of primary importance, but still I'd like to see it working better. I changed the severity to wishlist, can you please rename this bug ("Summary" field) to something more meaningful (my english is too bad to find something better) and leave open, maybe in the future someone will solve this issue ;)
One thing i can do (hopefully before 3.3) is that if there are a lot of small changes with only less than y chars unchanged in between to group them into one change. Or just mark the whole string as changed (make bold) if more than x number of changes occur between 2 sentences. I could make this configurable but i dont knwo if i have enough time for that.
This is gonna be a little spammy... I'm reassigning everything that's currently assigned to bruggie (who's been the default assignee for bugs since time began) to the new list address. Bruggie: if you're working on one or more of these atm, please snatch 'em back.. Everyone, esp. Joshua and Bruggie: if this genrates 33 mails, my sincere apologies..
Created attachment 13560 [details] patch that marks whol destination string if levenshtein distances is greater than the longer of both strings
Hi Felix, Thanks for taking a look at this.. I'm not familiar with the levenshtein code myself, but I'm guessing that your patch is intended to provide some sort of threshold at which the differences are considered too fine-grained to display. I'll compile this and have a play with it soon, hopefully tomorrow. Cheers, J.
SVN commit 925266 by bruggie: BUG: 75794 Heuristic added to only show inline differences if the number of differences is less than half the length of the longest line BUG: 89781 Fixes differences at the beginning of the line. Silly oversight from my sight, both variables x and y do not have to be 0 at the same time when leaving the loop M +53 -17 levenshteintable.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=925266
