Comparing a "left only" file complains about different carriage return types #2357

Comparing a "left only" file complains about different carriage return types. This doesn't make much sense because there is no right file, so no carriage return type to compare to. See picture.

Left file only

As a workaround, enable the Ignore carriage return differences (Windows/Unix/Mac) option.
