Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
My favourite feature - the inline diff (originally cursor.diffs.useCharacterLevelDiffs) were removed for 3 months, which is really annoying. The key advantage of Cursor over CC or CodeX is detailed wording comparison - see figure below, imaging I need to figure out what exactly the AI model has modified!
WE NEED WORD-LEVEL DIFF!!
Steps to Reproduce
Just copy paste.
Expected Behavior
Show word-level diff!
