Side-by-side diff has problems detecting related blocks in some cases

Created by: TurkeyMan

I commented a block of code, so the change was a bunch of '//' added to the start of a series of lines. The side-by-side diff doesn't illustrate those blocks side-by-side, with only 2 characters on each line having changed, it rather sees it as the first block removed, and the second block added, which is illustrated below the removed block.

Eg:

1  code                                   
2  more code                     
3  even more code               1  //code
                                2  //more code
                                3  //even more code

Expect:

1  code                         1  //code  
2  more code                    2  //more code
3  even more code               3  //even more code
