Description martin.ninov 2014-11-03 13:16:56 UTC 
When files possess different NEWLINE conventions, but are otherwise the same, they are detected as different in the file browser, but are reported as identical when opened for inspection.

Quite the head-scratcher, if you don't have another external inspection tool(e.g. a hex editor).
