Bug ID: 102616
Summary: EDITING: Compare documents on near-identical files
flags 99.9% of the contents as different
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.4.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED

Two sample documents, almost identical
Often, when I compare two subtly different versions of my novels (e.g. the
version for ebook preparation vs the version for print production), it will
flag basically the entire body of the document as different.
So it basically fails completely, and is a function that isn't useful, and I
have to try to remember what I changed, and manually hunt and check for each
change, and hope I've remembered them all. It's an awful situation to be in.
I will attach a zip file with obfuscated versions of an example. (I can't
provide unobfuscated copies as Amazon have exclusive distribution rights for
the electronic version.)
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open HarshLessons-CS-KDP-obfus-noimgs.odt
2. Edit->TrackChanges->Compare Documents
3. Choose HarshLessons-CS-obfus.odt and click OK
Basically the entire document is identified as different.
The sections with the ISBN are genuinely different; the KDP version also has a
ToC; chapter titles are coloured blue in the KDP version; and URLs are not
"spelled out" in the KDP version.
There should be few, if any, other differences. Instead, LO identifies about 6
sets of changes, which basically encompass the entire document.
