Text Comparer not Highlighting Differences #1541

Description

@cognophile

Current behavior

The Text Comparer tool isn't highlight difference between text correctly and is instead, only showing the original and modified text contents again.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)

  1. Install latest version (version 2.0-preview.8) via Homebrew
  2. Open application
  3. Open Text drop-down
  4. Select Compare
  5. Enter text in the Original Text input
  6. Enter different text in the Modified Text input
  7. Inspect the Difference component - Note that highlighting is missing in both Light and Dark mode.
  8. Toggle on and off Inline mode and note no change.

Expected behavior

The Difference component, whether in side-by-side or inline mode, should highlight the differences between the two textual inputs.
