Description john 2011-07-20 22:15:19 UTC 
1) for example, I have two text files. file A is as follows:

             aaa   
and file B is as follows:
      aaa           


2) launch meld to compare file A and B.


3) check "leading whitespace" in "prefrence->text filters" and after this the leading white space are still being highlighted.


Regards,

John

I found meld's behavior was right if I thought this in a different way.

Maybe this report can be removed.


Thanks,

John

This is actually a problem, but it's a known one. The issue is that we don't use filtered text when doing inline highlighting; filters are only used to determine block-level differences. I'm marking this a duplicate of bug 650432, since there's work on a patch there.
