Pending edit review should highlight changes

+7

There is a pending edit on one of my posts. When I click on Review Changes, I get a page showing two versions of the post side by side.

The problem is, there are no obvious changes. It's not even clear which side is pre-edit and which post-edit.

Either there aren't actually changes, and the system should clear out the suggested edit, or there are changes and they should be clearly visible. Even if I were to read both posts side by side hunting for the change, I'd probably miss it anyway.

The edit is (at minimum?) the spelling of "catagories" -> "categories" in the first sentence.

Same mistake in 3rd and 2nd to last paragraph

The changes are just catagory/ies to category/ies. However, the issue of the diff page not working properly is a real one that I have noticed myself.

@mana: OK, I'll go accept the changes. Now that you point them out, I can see what changed, but I can also see there is nothing pointing out the changes. That needs to be fixed.
