That's a very minimal amount of context to work for. "Doesn't work" will almost always be a given when it comes to an issue... developers need actionable and investigable details to actually do anything. For this specific issue, a screenshot would have helped a lot! This is another part that you should put care into with future issue reports (the "No response" part is key... developers like a response here, haha!):

All that being said, text diff works fine on my end, and if we're sharing opinions: the presentation and functionality is basic and without fluff like any respectable diff tool - just what I expect from the utilities in DevToys:

I guess I have the same issue (now with screenshots! )

Version v2.0-preview.8 (installed via brew on macos, bundle version same issue)

Sorry for opening issue without provide a screenshoot because i forgot to take it, because i already unistall the new version and re install the old one @Derjyn, but here @SanderWegter got the screenshoot for you, hope the dev team can solve it! Thanks

Not a problem, no need to apologize @rizkysiregar - I just make my rounds and try to contribute where I can, and also do housekeeping in issues, etc... the little things, like tiny chores. Nothing personal, and it was more of a nudge to boost you toward best-practices when contributing.

I'm still not having this issue like you and others are - so this may be a case of environment variations contributing to the bug you are running into. I'm on Windows 11; @SanderWegter is MacOS. We don't know what your environment looks like - that was part of my previous comment talking about best-practices when it comes to posting issues.

You didn't provide anything except "diff doesn't work". The screenshot wouldn't have helped do anything except prove you had the problem visually, and devs don't necessarily need proof like this (screenshots can help, it depends on the scenario). What helps is technical information. What version are you using ("newer version" and "old version" isn't a precise version string), what operating system are you on - that's the bare minimum in this case. See my point, now? Again, no reason to apologize, you're learning the ropes and you gotta start somewhere!

So just respond real quick with that info, or edit your original post to add that info, and it would be really helpful to the developers to troubleshoot and likely fix the bug.
