Either I'm having a hard time figuring out how the column ignore function works, or they don't work with text files...
I'm trying to ignore text after a specific column, so I created a grammar rule that specifies to only consider the first x columns.
But, even though the beginning of the lines are identical, I *still* get the differences highlighted in red (see screenshot ignore1.gif). And if I select to "Ignore unimportant differences" these lines will still be there.
I am also not quite sure if these rules define the *important* or *unimportant* differences. The manual refers to a "'New' button in the Unimportant Text area", but I don't see any area that is labeled as such, so it might be that the manual is a bit out of date.
So, I tried it the other way round as well: Instead of defining column 1 to 3, I specified column 4 to <end of line>, but in either case all lines were highlighted (see screenshot ignore2.gif).
(I am running V3.3.4, build 14431)
