Description
When opening edit over ssh session, the first line shows this encoding pattern: c/0000cccc/cccc/ccccd6d6/d6d6

**Repro steps:**
Enable SSH on Windows machine.
Connect to ssh session.
Download and install edit
Run edit
**Observed results:**
When opened the line number column is shifted 1 char to the right and some kind of encoding string is presented: c/0000cccc/cccc/ccccd6d6/d6d6.
**Expected results:**
edit should run without issues under a standard ssh session.
