Difficult or impossible to discern suggested edit

+4
−0

Sometimes my posts get a suggested edit that is submitted. I try my hardest to discern what change they made, but the current user interface doesn't show any changes. Is there a way to show some sort of diff, with the original on the left and the changes on the right? Or am I missing something?

Edit: Ironically a suggested edit was made to this post, and I was able to see the diff on the left and right. I still don't on the post which prompted this one.

Unless the edit was to remove the tag (which seems likely). If so, it's very hard to tell that that is what the change was.

Huh, that's strange. Do you have a screenshot of what you're seeing? Last time I saw a suggested edit, it was exactly "the original on the left and the changes on the right", with differences marked well enough for me to easily find them. No idea what I'm doing differently though

I can't reproduce either - this is what I see for suggested edits, do you see something different? https://meta.codidact.com/uploads/fQkUdkTtrUEYTuED9gebxZNu

I can see @Moshi's suggested edit just fine. Using Edge on Win10.
