Subclipse (SVN) Compare showing similar files

It seems whenever I compare via the SVN Repository explorer (most recently after a merge) subclipse will show a few files in the compare window that have no differences whatsoever. Double clicking the file brings up the Java Source Compare window, but Subclipse highlights no sections and shows no differences. A manual inspection of the file shows they are identical. What causes this? Are there any ways to disable it, it can be quite confusing?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

Seems to be Eclipse bug, which waits for solution...

I think the problem is that after merging the revision of the file is changed. So, although the content of files is the same, the compare view shows the change. It is very very bad... :(

There may not be structural change, but only space related or formatting. Try clicking on "next difference".

Sounds like it could be whitespace-related. Maybe tortoise defaults to ignoring ws changes.
