Assume you have a main branch and a development branch. Someone else changes a files in the main branch. Then you make the same changes in the file in the development branch and push those changes to the server. Now, if you use the Bitbucket in your browser and compare the two branches, you see a difference. It seems Bitbucket takes the change in the author into account. 

How do you get the Bitbucket to compare just the contents of the files?

I might have misunderstood the comparison feature. It could just be comparing two branches and the display of the file is just the history of the file in the source branch. That is not very intuitive in the display if that is the case. Hope someone can shed some light on this.
