Issue 3503: side-by-side diff highlights wrong characters for whitespace changes
Status:  New
Owner: ----
Reported by markus.k...@gmail.com, Jul 30, 2015
Affected Version: 2.11.2

What steps will reproduce the problem?

- https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/52684/1..2//COMMIT_MSG
=> The side-by-side diff shows changes in the subject (light red/green backgrounds), but the highlighted characters are completely off.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Was:
- left side highlights "c" in "compared" and the terminating space
- right side highlights "F" in "Fix"

Expected:
- left side should highlight one space in "4.2.2  (" and the term. space
- right side should highlight space in "457871 [Performance]"
