Description Rostislav Svoboda CLA 2010-07-21 18:40:40 EDT 
Build Identifier: Helios and Galileo

see Steps to Reproduce

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create files x.properties, y.properties 
x.properties:
AAA=
BBB=a a

y.properties:
AAA=a a
BBB=

2. set end-of-line encoding
dos2unix y.properties
unix2dos x.properties

3. Switch on the "Show whitespace characters"

4. "compare each other": x.properties and y.properties

5. 'BBB=' is incorrectly highlighted as changed even when 'Ignore white spaces' is toggled.
It seems like the bug appears only when 
- there is a space between the 'a' letters 
- the files have different end-of-line encoding
