Meld 3.18.2 GUI is reporting that text files are identical when a space only exists in the right pane

Using Meld 3.18.2 on Windows 7 x64.

When comparing the attached two files, the right pane containing an extra space and the left one not having a space the GUI reports the files as identical. Meld's "Format as Patch" feature the files are correctly shown to differ.

Attached is the screenshot of the GUI, the left pane file, and the right pane file. Below is the output of "Format as Patch" with username censored.
