Hi,

I would like to know if anybody else has noticed issues with the compare versions function in memoQ since memoQ 8.4.

The issue still persists in memoQ 8.6.

I cannot believe that we are the only ones who have noticed this

Whenever I use this feature, I use find/replace to eliminate triple and double spaces. The real problem, though, is that in some cases it removes spaces, so you have to check through the changes very c

It's annoying that MemoQ advertises features that don't work properly. Another feature that is essentially broken is "import reviewed document".
