Description Sandy Armstrong 2007-09-16 16:02:47 UTC
So the commercial diff tool Beyond Compare has this nice feature where you can show a pane at the bottom of a file diff that displays the compared lines on top of one-another.  This can be very helpful when comparing a changed string, or when comparing long lines.  I'd love to see this sort of thing in Meld.  I was thinking of writing a patch if people are interested in it.

You can see a screenshot and description on this page (feature is called "Line Details"):
