Visual diff does not show removal of space (joining words)
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

In this edit, I fixed a typo, changing Oude Mirdum to Oudemirdum. When I previewed the visual diff for this change, it showed me something like "Oude Mirdum mirdum", as if I had replaced the second word rather than joining the two words together.
