Comparison tool in R2021b can no longer filter to 'show differences only'

In previous releases of Matlab, I found the build-in diff tool (visdiff) quite usefull to compare versions of source-controlled source code, which by default only showed lines that are different between the versions (configurable via View --> Filter --> Show differences only).

However, in the R2021b release, this filter setting is no longer avaiable and instead it now always shows all the lines, which complicates a quick assesment of differences.

Curious if there is an answer to this quesiton yet?

Hi Daniel,

I understand you wish to visualize the differences only while doing a comparison using visdiff. I have brought this issue to the notice of our developers. They will investigate the matter further.
