Description:
Compare versions tool does not work properly,it shows lines which are marked as
modify/new though they are the same (Example here German page for Alberto Gilardino -
part see below) - each row is a separate line which will be compared - as you can
see '''Stationen (Spiele/Tore):''' is correct; the following lines are not modified as
well but marked as modify/new. Is that any possibility that it can work correctly?

'''Stationen (Spiele/Tore):''' '''Stationen (Spiele/Tore):'''

Check very carefully to see if there has been a change in white-space.

This would trigger the DIFF, so the line would be highlighted, but not be visible
as such since the changed characters are not highlighted themselves.

Please provide a link to the exact diff (e.g.,

Whitespace is often a confusing factor; see bug 286.
