bug#20604: ediff-toggle-skip-similar doesn't work

dear emacs team,

after executing "ediff-revision" on a file with many indentation changes, i tried to reduce the number of presented diffs by pressing

'##' which maps to 'ediff-toggle-skip-similar'

but the number of diffs stayed unchanged. even pressing

'!' which maps to 'ediff-update-diffs'

afterwards doesn't improve the situation.

thank you in advance for your kind help.
