Summary0000087: not correctly identifying changed lines
DescriptionI've made couple major changes to my script and wanted to use your app to compare differences.
As you can see on screenshot attached,
line 31left and line 40right are same. Your app compares instead line 32left and line 40right.
It would help if instead it would compare line 31left to line 40right (no change)
and then compare line 32left to line41right.

And there are many times I've seen this while using your app.
I understand it's hard to figure out, but should be possible.
TagsNo tags attached.

You are right, actually VisualDiffer uses the unix diff (unified) algorithm and the wrong "alignment" comes from it.

I'm working to a new different algorithm, totally independent from the unix diff.
I hope to ship it in a few of months, next release (released before February) will contain a modified version (that work very good with UTF-8 charset) but always based on unified unix diff.

thanks for your feedback
