Package: colordiff
Version: 1.0.9-1
Version: 1.0.10-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
this may be the same issue as described in http://bugs.debian.org/681019
(colordiff doesn't colourise wdiff output in all cases) but it's also
possible that it's a completely different issue (according to the
examples, not according to the subject :-), hence I'm reporting it
seperately.
Feel free to merge those two bug reports if you think they describe the
same issue.
Given the following wdiff output:
foo
[-barf
blafasel-]
{+bar
bla+}
fnord
[-hurz-]
gnarz
colordiff only marks the second last line red. The [- -] and {+ +}
sections spawning two lines each don't get coloured by colordiff.
(Issue reported from a Squeeze machine, but it also happens in Wheezy
and Sid.)
For the sake of completenes, here's the contents of the two files:
a.txt:
foo
barf
blafasel
fnord
hurz
gnarz
b.txt:
foo
bar
bla
fnord
gnarz
P.S.: Thanks for having written and maintaining colordiff -- it's an
immensely useful tool. :-)

Meh, I looked for a hint about several lines, but still missed that
one in the man page initially. Closing the bug again. Sorry for the
noise.
Regards, Axel
