Inline diff is ignoring unchanged lines between hunks

A description of the issue. A screenshot is often helpful too.

Inline diff (side-by-side works well) skips unchanged lines producing confusing diffs:

$ difft --display inline --context 5 before.txt after.txt

side-by-side is showing the try and finally lines ok:

$ difft --context 5 before.txt after.txt

A copy of what you're diffing. If you're diffing files, include the before and after files. If you're using difftastic with a VCS repository (e.g. git), include the URL and commit hash.

Using before.txt and after.txt.

Note those are groovy files (that difftastic handles as text). But even renamed to .java, the inline diff have same problem.

The version of difftastic you're using (see difft --version) and your operating system.

Agreed that --display inline is misleading right now. It makes the diff look like something it's not. I'd recommend people not use it until this is fixed.

Any updates on this issue? I'd love to use this with lazygit, but because inline display is kind of required, I've been holding off until this bug is fixed.
