If the current diff is off the screen because you clicked on it and scrolled up a bit, then you are unable to get back to it using the arrows.
You can: use the Current Diff command (the square button between the up and down arrows).

Yup, sorry I just figured this out as you were replying. I believe that does take care of this particular issue. Dunno why I never clicked on that square!
Thanks again!
Regarding my original issue.. I am wondering if you know what it is about your Diff versus the one I currently use that makes it so mine does do what I need. Like, if I wanted to explain to someone about that particular feature, does it have a name? Is it due to ExamDiff being line based?
Just for comparison, here is how our current Diff program shows that exact same change in my previous screenshot:

Yes, EDP is, like most diff tools, a line-based utility. I think "ignoring line breaks" is a fine way to describe your feature. What tool are you using that does this?

I added some info in my post above. Its actually just the diff program that came with our code repository software, Sourcegear Vault.

So for this example, what do the relevant file fragments look like? Could you attach both files or their fragments illustrated in the image?

I guess im not sure what you mean by file fragment. They are just .html files. I scrubbed them a bit and zipped them up and attached them if you would like to look at them yourself.
