title: Visual Studio shows differences when there are none
body: <p>I am doing a fairly large merge from a branch back to my Trunk.</p>
  
  <p>While doing this I have a lot of "Phantom" changes.  Spots where both files are EXACTLY identical.  Even the white space is the same (as far as I can tell).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Is there a way to improve Visual Studios diffing abilities to not give me so many false positives?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Here is an example of what I am talking about:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/c6G6i.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/c6G6i.png" alt="Code is the same"></a></p>
  
  <p>I have "Show Whitespace" turned on (you can see the dot between the <code>using</code> and the namespaces), and from what I can see, there is no difference, but visual studio thinks there is.</p>
  
  <p>(NOTE: I tried turning on \ignorewhitespace and it had no effect.)</p>
