Compare two Word Documents and track changes in C#

GroupDocs.Comparison Product Family
1

Using .NET, latest version of GroupDocs.Comparison.Comparer, when I use:
using (var comparer = new GroupDocs.Comparison.Comparer(@“c:\test\v1.docx”))
{
comparer.Add(@“c:\test\v2.docx”);
comparer.Compare(@“c:\test\diff.docx”);
}
It correctly identifies most differences. But sometimes, it does not see a removed comment. For example, I uploaded v1.docx:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/77uat51ho4oum34/v1.docx?dl=0
and v2.docx:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qjux8kbzyh38nio/v2.docx?dl=0
and this generated the result:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mmnsujkro0w9af4/diff.docx?dl=0

Notice that in v2.docx the comment “This is a comment from user1” around the word “schizophrenia” was removed (from v1.docx). When the .Comparer was run, it did not “see” this removed comment. In most cases, the .Comparer correctly identifies removed comments, but in documents like these small samples, it seems to miss them.

Is there a setting somewhere that controls this?

thanks!
