I think this happens sometimes, but not all the time ...
When using the diff bundle, I know there are some minor differences between two files, but diff will mark the entire documents as the difference, even though maybe 90%+ of the lines are the same. FileMerge does the same thing.
However, if I copy one entire file to the clipboard and compare, diff will correctly define only the different lines as the differences.
Is there a preference I need to set or a format change I need to make?
Thanks.

This typically happens when the two documents have different line-endings. Could that be your problem?

Thanks, Robin, that was it. Somehow, my line endings got screwed up.
I did a "save as" over the original, and it now works.
