Wrong compare result

Try to compare 2 files

1.txt with text in it:
# 12345
and
2.txt with text in it:
# 12345
(the only differ - quantity of spaces)

PSPad 4.5.8 (2485) thinks that files have no differences at all! But it is not so.

(in 1.txt after # there is only one space)
and
(in 2.txt after # there are two spaces)

(the only differ - quantity of spaces)

Sorry, but forum cuts extra spaces!

Thanks a lot! I found that setting. But I think that "Ignore Char Case" and "Ignore Blank Space" must be switched off by default.

Each user has own opinion. Default settings comes from the common ussage of most users
