When I select "Ignore Whitespace: All" and have Intraline Differences
checked in Gerrit (2.1.6.1) then it still shows the whitespace
differences. If I want to ignore whitespace differences I have to
uncheck intraline differences which is said because it's quite handy
to see the differences inline.

Is this intentional or is this a bug?

Thanks,
Eberhard

This may be a bug caused by implementation issues. The intraline
difference is probably ignoring the whitespace settings, and thus
shows whitespace changes. Its possible its just because I forgot to
make sure they were applied here, but it may also be an implementation
issue that the intraline difference doesn't (currently) have a way to
ignore whitespace.

I think I'd classify this as a bug, but I don't know how easy it is
going to be to fix.
