@ericteubert@chaos.social the reason why there are white lines between the lines in the diffs of the working copy view is that you can select and stage a single line (or a range of lines).
So it is on purpose in this view. The log viewer diffs should be sold blocks, though. Will fix that.
Hiding white space changes in the working copy view doesn't make much sense, so I assume you meant the log viewer?
And thanks! 🙂

@cjk@chaos.social (optionally) hiding white space is useful in both contexts. Just one example: Wrapping a block of code in a condition is hard to read in a diff. With hidden whitespace changes it becomes very clear. But it's something I flip all the time so it needs to be accessible, not hidden in a settings pane.

@cjk@chaos.social Regarding the white line separators in the working copy view: you already highlight selected lines, on hover and selection, so I see what I selected without the line separators. Just makes the whole view very noisy to my eyes.
