Comparing identical files

[Stumpii]

When comparing files that are identical, but with different dates, the resulting compare window shows a single line that makes it confusing as to whether it is a difference or not. BC2 would not show any lines if the files are the same.

BC3 supports in-pane editing. The reason we show a single line in an empty file is for you to start editing. If there is a difference between the files, you will see a red or blue background.

Also, if you don't want to see the cross-hatch, you can disable it:
