Re: UI feature request for blocks with different height

["Stephen Kennedy" <stevek gnome org>]

Hi Yuval,

part of the reason I wrote meld is because I find the virtual blank
space very unnatural. There's no way for meld to support this feature
unless the underlying text widget (GtkTextView or GtkSourceView)
supports it too. Very unlikely I'd say.

Regards,
Stephen.
