RDp Compare Function Failed for Inserting Big Block of Code

The compare result in RDp is not correct after a big block of code
being inserted. As the code change is very simple by adding a block of
code into the source, it seems that it is a bug in RDp compare
function, please help to check on the issue.


Use Case:

Insert a block of code (around 100 lines) and compare with the original version.

    If you are using the LPEX "Compare to file..." tool, you should set the following preferences before the compare will work properly:

    __1. Click Window > Preferences from the workbench menu.
    The Preferences window opens.
    __2. In the left pane of the Preferences window, expand LPEX Editor.
    __3. Click Compare under LPEX Editor. In the right pane of the Preferences window make sure that
    the Ignore all blanks and Ignore leading blanks check boxes are selected.
    __4. Click OK in the Preferences window.

    Back in the Editor window of the member:
    __5. Double-click the tab to show the edit view in full screen mode.
    __6. Click Edit > Compare to file on the workbench menu.

    It should compare properly.
    If you are using the Remote Systems Explorer (RSE) Compare with.. tool when selecting two member, the compare will not work if you have differences in sequence numbers or blanks.

    Please let us know if this helps with the issue that you are seeing.
