No

Versions: 2.8.6.x, 2.8.4.x, and Trunk. Maybe others.

In Options / Compare, there is a checkbox to enable/disable a feature called "Match Similar Lines".

It is not documented in the online help, and it should be.

(PS: What does it do?)

    Oww. I've totally forgotten this item.

    Assigning now to Denis as he is working with manual improvements.

    Shortly, this feature tries to find similar lines inside difference blocks. And then show those similar lines in same line position in the screen. If the lines are similar enough it helps to see where the differences are. But if the lines are too different then it does not help.

    Added description in Configuration.xml, example in Compare_files.xml. Checked in -r6720.
