Subject: 26.3;
 vc-diff and dired-diff prevent refine diff while ignoring whitespace
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2020 13:03:05 +0100

[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

In GNU Emacs 26.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2020-05-17, modified by Debian built on x86-csail-01

To see the problem, launch dired-diff on the attached files (to do that,
open dired, and hit = on one of the file entries)

You see that the diff chunk differs for whitespace and case.  Try first
C-b (refine diff) and then C-w (ignore whitespace).  It is not possible
to have them both active at the same time, while it should.

The same happens for vc-diff

Hello,

It looks like this isn't reproducible anymore on the Emacs trunk, at
least with the steps provided in this report, so I'm closing the report.
Please feel free to re-open if I'm wrong.
