Dear Bug Team!
Tools: Compare: Regions Line-by-line doesn't work.
Hello Maria!
Your XEmacs version is very old and we can no longer offer patch
releases for it.
See
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/index.html#Historical
If you can upgrade to 21.4.19, then please do.
See
http://www.xemacs.org/Releases/index.html#Stable
Also, your bug report suggests that you have your lisp package installed
/afs/ipp/common/soft/gnu/share/xemacs/site-lisp
as well as
/afs/ipp-garching.mpg.de/common/soft/gnu/share/emacs/site-lisp
with the former hiding the later versions above.
See
M-x list-load-path-shadows
to look into this issue.
You package installation are also far behind.
We currently offer
ediff 1.62 Interface over GNU patch.
while you still have
(ediff :version 1.47 :type regular)
So upgrading you packages as well should be a good investment to see
whether it won't fix your line-by-line diff problem.
Good Luck!
Adrian
