I don't know ediff very much, but diff-mode also highlights fine diffs (via diff-refine-hunk or diff-auto-refine-mode, for example). I know this code fairly well since I wrote it, and to the best of my knowledge it should not care about line-length (tho I haven't checked its efficiency in the presence of very long lines). Stefan
