diff about to delete existing text
I've seen this a few times and I think this is the simplest reproduction.
Start with a page that has a line of text "this text should be preserved but is
not"
In VE, position the cursor at the front of the line and move it two spaces
down.
Move the cursor back to the top of the page.
Type a new line "totally different stuff"
Save. Note the incorrect diff. The string "this text should be preserved but
is not" has been deleted erroneously upon save.
Repeat the operation but this time use strings that share words, like "this
text should be preserved" and "this text is new"
The behavior is the same, the old text is erroneously deleted, but the diff
seems to have intertwined the two strings, keeping their common elements.
