This problem occurs on some documents but not others. I had success in fixing the problem (I have tried it on only one document) by changing Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Comparison from "Auto" to "By word".
That may narrow the bug down a bit. I can supply an example privately and file another bug report if necessary, but will do so only if someone will take a look at it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782406 Title: LibreOffice Writer Document Compare (regression) Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: libreoffice Comparing two files has reverted to the old OOo behaviour of flagging entire long sequences of paragraphs as different, when in fact they are actually identical except maybe for just one or two minor typographical differences.
