Highlight Same or Different buttons in Inspector do not work.

Over the last 10 years the Inspector Highlight Same and Highlight Different buttons have never worked properly. Highlight Different will highlight fields that are different due to casing or special character differences, but we know that the algorithm behind the scenes standardizes the data before comparing the data.

To correct this, the implementation of highlight same highlight different could use the comparison codes and highlight based on the comparison code "E" (same) or "D" (different) when comparing the records. Allowing the robust standardization and algorithm to decide what fields are same or different.
