Viewing multiple revisions that have no difference doesn't display properly
Open, MediumPublic

Description

If you select more than one revision in the History window where there is no difference (for example, a test that was self reverted), the main page display doesn't properly show that there is no difference between them.

Expected: A message by itself saying the selected revisions have no difference
Actual:

Another weird thing that happens with this bug is it takes quiet a long time to display the above screenshot (about 5 seconds for me). My total guess based off of no information whatsoever of why that is is because it's fetching the html of the webpage as a fallback or something similar.

But it's right in the brackets: "No difference"

Sorry, let me clarify. Displaying the message "No difference" like that seems to be very inconsistent with the way diffs are usually displayed. It also shows a lot of extraneous information that isn't relevant to just saying "No difference".
