Here I have drawn a box around my guess of the only thing that changed in the two things being shown.

It would be great if the program did too, to save users long head scratching sessions where they read line by line looking for missing commas, or other clues to what Discourse is trying to communicate to them as to where the differences lie.

Another approach is: if none of the text has changed, then don’t show the text at all, just show the title, and only once too.
