    "Unimportant differences" in text compare are not - some lines only on one side

    Why is this showing unimportant differences - there are lines that are not on either side?

    Hello,

    If text is aligned to something that is different (different text or missing text) it is a difference. The grammar that defines the text determines if it is Important or Unimportant. By default, Comments are considered Unimportant, so any differences in a Comment are Unimportant Differences.

    You can control if Comments are Important or Unimportant in the Session Settings dialog -> Importance tab. Checked items are Important, while Unchecked are Unimportant.

      Aaron, the differences aren't comments but I will check the settings as you advise. Thank you.

        Hello,

        Click into a text area between two letters, and at the bottom of the screen we show the detected grammar element name of the cursor position. Given the coloring, it looks like an unterminated Comment, but we couldn't be certain without example files and settings (Help menu -> Support; Export: BCSupport.zip), which you can email us at [email protected] and a link to this forum thread for our reference.
