REGRESSION: indentation-only changes show up in diff as if meaningful differences
In the "+/-" diff view for a file on the right, it used to be the case that, when there were changes that only involved the number of spaces and tabulation at the beginning of lines, they wouldn't be shown.
Now, they are shown as a deleted and an added line.
So, if I add an if()
statement to wrap a block of code, and consequently indent the whole block, I will see a diff in which the whole block is replaced by a new block (with only the indentation changed).
If there is a setting for this, which I don't know of and never touched, then either the setting is new and the default value is wrong, or the default was changed to the wrong default value.
