Vault 3.5.3 Diff show one character per line

[BuddyA]

This happens to me for some files. The diff screen show only one character per line so the diff is pretty much useless. It will look like this:


w w
h h
e e
r r
e e


The whole diff will look like this. Any idea why? I'd hate to have to delete the file and reload it too fix it.

It could be that these files are unicode.

Try switching the Character Encodings settings to Unicode in the Diff/Merge tool.

This setting is in the diff/merge tool under Tools->Options->Character encodings.
