Custom background for rows with only word differences  #939

Description

I use WinMerge every week, and noticed that the lines with only word differences / character differences have the same background with lines which are entirely different from the compared text.

My files more often contain word differences than line differences, so I learnt to ignore the color of texts which are similar in these lines, and focus on word differences only.

However, lines which are entirely different have this background color, too. So this ignorance makes me sometimes ignore a full line change, too.

I think the obvious solution would be that in the lines which have only word differences / character differences, the similar characters in both texts would have a custom background color. But the color of this particular position cannot be set in my version (2.16.6).
