I found that Winmerge overrates linefeeds and that that sometimes leads to undesirable results. So my suggestion is to look whether that can be improved.
The situation where I encountered this was with a PHP array that covered several lines.
In one version this looked like
$myarray = array("aaa","bbb","ccc",
"ddd","eee","fff",
"ggg","hhh","iii",
"jjj","kkk","lll");
In the other version it looked like
$myarray = array("aaa","bbb","ccc","ddd",
"eee","fff","ggg","hhh",
"iii","jjj","kkk","lll");
Winmerge concludes that the first version misses "ddd" at the end of the first line and sees the other lines only matching for their quotes and comma's.
It would be nice when Winmerge was able to see that these texts are essentially the same.
