You are right.

The diff command shows the same differences. The tool "Kompare 3.4" can 
visually highlight the unexpected changes by a direct file comparison.

Now I have got the impression that the editor from the tool "KDevelop 3.5.5" 
added a few carriage return characters (0x0D) at places in the source code that 
I did not touch myself. Some line endings were converted to the Windows/DOS 
format. I would prefer a clearer display for such a conversion in the diff 
output.
