But exactly this is what Paul meant, and is what I'm using too in this case. Open the same panel on two sessions and hit the SWAP key (PF9 usually) a couple of times in a row. The screen will seem to blink where characters differ. You don't need to open two windows and place them exactly one on top of the other to do the "visual compare".
