[bug-diffutils] bug#34705: Cannot get white space to be ignored

[Mallika Bachan]

Hi,

I'm confused why white space isn't being ignored:

MALLIKA-MBP:~ mallikab$ diff -w 17 18

3c3

<   Product:      fec-secure

---

>   Product:      fec-secure

MALLIKA-MBP:~ mallikab$ 

I have diff (GNU diffutils) 2.8.1

both on my Mac as well as the Linux box at work

What does "Ignore all white space" mean?

That I'm still gonna get output?
