If ediff is loaded from a GUI, ediff-auto-refine defaults to "on", which is the desired behaviour.

However, if your ~/.emacs contains "(require 'ediff)", and you start emacs with the --daemon option, variable ediff-auto-refine will instead default to "nix", even if you later try to use ediff from a GUI started with "emacsclient --create-frame".
