Why do large files sometimes show as different in the directory view, but come up as identical in the merge editor?
This is because large files use the “Quick Compare” method, even when the [Edit->Options / Compare / File Compare Method] setting is set to “Full Compare”. This is a speed optimization. To test if this is causing the behavior you’re seeing, you could raise the limit for the Quick Compare threshold for large files.
