They have worked fine for a while but seemingly after some cancels, just get stuck comparing now and hang indefinitely.</p>
<p dir="auto">First I installed Compare - Two similar logs were comparing fine over many iterations.  Sometimes I’d cancel when I realized i chose the wrong file.  Then at some point, choosing to Compare no longer worked and it would hang about 15% through the loading bar.   I gave up and uninstalled Compare and updated NP++ and installed Compare Plus.  It too worked fine for a while, then after a certain time Cancelling it, the Compare step hangs at about 15% again.  It’s like there is some bad data cached that is breaking it?  I’ve tried uninstalling the plugins and reinstalling them but they still hang.</p>
<p dir="auto">Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas?   Files it’s comparing are 914kb and 78 mb, but I was trying to compare just the starts of them, which worked fine before (the versions that worked before were similar in size to this)</p>
