I can't get "ignore text" to work properly... even if it shows in grey, it's considering it a change

[rmichelena]

I have a page in which I want to exclude certain lines from the comparison (basically those lines are countdown timers)
I write a couple of Regex in the "ignore text" field
In the preview, those lines do show in grey, as if they're to be ignored
But in the diff, they do show as changes. And also generate alerts.

What am I doing wrong?

Screenshots attached of the settings, diff and preview

thanks,

Roberto

forgot to mention, it's 0.46.04

I think what I did wrong is that I didn't wait long enough... it seems it needs two cycles to settle.
Meanwhile... is it possible to remove just some text, not the whole line?
e.g. in the case of this one... line says "16-Oct-2024 16:00 (GMT -4.00) Expires within 4 days" ; I'd like to capture if the date changes, but remove the "Expires within 4 days" because that'll trigger daily.

NOPE, wrong... it is still triggering changes... basically the "ignore lines containing" applies to the preview (where those lines are being shown in grey), but is not actually working, it's still sending alert on those lines and showing them on the diff.

@rmichelena you didnt read my reply i think - I can see in your example that there was text REMOVED (provision of the Next Generation Firewall) and the other text is there because of what i wrote above
