Folder comparison flagging first line of many files as different, despite being identical
Because some files have elevated permissions, I'm invoking meld with
# sudo dbus-launch meld
All pairs of files are are shown as being different, despite (appearing to be) identical or differing only in filtered content (the filter appears to be working). The first line of every file is flagged as different, even when it appears to be exactly identical.
Text filters are active, ignoring comments prefixed by '#', so the FreeBSD release tag is properly being ignored, but the first line which is actually identical is not being recognized as such.
