Topic on Talk:VisualEditor/Diffs

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T158445

The edit was one change to one table cell

which is how source diff shows it, but visual diffs seems to think I changed rows and rows surrounding the row in question ~~~~

Having tested this for a bit, it seems obvious that the deciding factor seems to be the number of rows (and potentially columns) the table has. Perhaps it just gives up trying to identify the cell changes when there are more than X rows (~ 7 or so).

Simpler diff:

When I try that, this is the result. It's impractical that the entire table is shown, but at least to me it is clear what is the only element that has been changed. How is the output you expect different? TY!

The reason User:Elitre is seeing things differently is probably because of the differences in platform (Computer specifications / performance) etc. This makes the tool incredibly unreliable.
