When comparing source files:

If one file contains a new function/method that the other doesn't contain it would be great if the change block would encompass the whole function (even though it contains "unimportant differences" i.e. comments.

DanGo, I'm guessing you have "View | Ignore Unimportant Differences" enabled. Does it help to turn that off?

You can also check the "Orphan lines are always important" checkbox in the session settings dialog. That will make any unimportant orphaned lines important, so the while file will show as one block. That way you can keep most of the differences ignored using the Ignore Unimportant Differences setting.
