While comparing a couple of c files with the "ignore comments" option checked, I met an odd and unexpected misalignment.
The manual correction is easy but I don't understand why EDP can't do it automatically.
If they are many the thing becomes quickly annoying.

For your convenience I add a screenshot and the two c snippets.

This is what I get. Obviously, our options do not match.

Obvious! What else?
Please find my config here attached.

Thanks, we'll look into this. It's tricky though, and we may not have a good solution (there's a way to explain your results but I'm not going to get into that). One way to make this look better is to ignore blank lines.

After some analysis, it appears that EDP works correctly. In your example, since blank lines are not ignored, lines 15 (which becomes blank after ignoring C-style comments) and 13 are matched as identical (both are blank), and all ignored lines are misaligned as a result of this.

To make a more obvious case, take a look at the slightly modified example:
The same lines are aligned but this time the alignment is more obvious.

Gosh, I must say that I had to wait a moment of calm to grasp what you were saying.
I admit that, as expected, there is a logic behind it, but let me say it's far from intuitive.

Well, no everything is intuitive in this world, unfortunately.
