I looked at this diff today, which is a reply to the 133rd item in a list. Instead of simply showing that list item and the response, the visual diff has rendered the entire section, resulting in a large amount of scrolling before I could find the actual change.
I'm not sure what the exact issue is here, but I assume it relates to lists.

I've been using the visual diff mode to follow changes on talk pages recently (inclusing the infamous Vector RFC) and this change is honestly the best thing since we invented the reply tool ;) I think we can close this task, it works great.
For reference, here's how the diff in the task description looks like today, and how it would have looked before:
