diffZilla - multifile diff show files that are not different

[earl_bushman@yahoo.com]

Multifile diff show files that are not different. When I click on one of the files in the list give from the compare, many of files give me a dialog box that indicates the files are the same, open anyway. In the options "Show Matching Files" is not selected. What do I need to do to only see files that are different.

Is there any chance you can send me a pair of the offending files?  If so, it would be better to zip them up so nothing happens to them in transit.

In my attempts to get you example files that are not company confidential, I discovered some additional information. The multifile diff that I was doing is: one is on my "C:" drive (Windows10), and the other is on a network drive mapped to "U:" the network drive is \\wsl$\Ubuntu (a Linux virtual machine on the same Windows machine.

Using "File Explorer" I copied the two files to a directory tree on my C: drive, to make it easy to put in one zip file. However, when I run diffZilla on the two directories in this tree, I do not see the issue. Therefore, I don't think the issue is related to the files, but is related to using a mapped network drive. Attached is the zipped directory tree anyway.

I just did a diff of a local directory and a mapped network drive that is on a different windows computer. Also, a diff with a mapped network drive with a native Linux machine. Both of this diffs did not show the issue, so the issue only seems to be related to the virtual machine.
