Diff in cursor changed?

Not sure if the diff system has changed in cursor recently? It is significantly worse than it was before, or at least it seems. I remember seeing a thread proposing change of the diff system. I edit one line removing a comment so e.g. from // someFunction(); to someFunction(); and instead of showing the diff of three characters it shows 6 // som as a diff. When I upload to github then it shoows correctly only 3 character diff // .
Not sure if this was the case before, if not, is there a way to get a diff system change?
