But often, there a whole block of lines that's different. And the "next
diff" button selects that whole block.
What should TMerge do in such a case?

For example, three very long lines are different. The first one doesn't
show inline diffs because of too many differences. The second one does,
as does the third one.

now what should the 'next inline diff' button do in this case?
