Description kate 2008-04-01 10:13:59 UTC 
Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803311211)
Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)

There is no difference if Tools | Options - Miscellaneous - Diff - "Ignore Whitespace" checkbox is checked or not.

When I add some new space to a line (e.g in the middle of comment), this space is marked as "new" (green background) and
the line as "modified" (blue background) even if "Ignore Whitespace" was checked and saved before.
Comment 1 Maros Sandor 2008-04-01 10:29:14 UTC 
Only leading and trailing whitespaces are ignored. It may be confusing so we will change the option text to "Ignore
leading/trailing whitespace".
Comment 2 kate 2008-04-01 10:37:07 UTC 
OK, I am changing this issue to "Enhancement".
