Description

Hello,

I've discovered an indentation inconsistency in the git diff view where changed lines (prefixed with + or - icons) are shifted further to the right compared to unchanged lines.

The + / - change icons take up horizontal space, which pushes the actual line content farther right than lines without those icons. This creates a visually uneven indentation across the diff, making it harder to read and compare changes cleanly.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a file in the editor that has uncommitted changes (i.e., a file with additions and/or deletions).
  2. Open the git diff view for that file.
  3. Observe the alignment of the lines - changed lines (showing + or - icons) will be indented further to the right than unchanged lines that don't display those icons.

Expected behavior:

All lines in the diff view should share consistent horizontal alignment, regardless of whether they're changed or unchanged. The + / - icons should not affect the indentation of the line content.

Thank you for your time!
Joshua Krimmer

Research direction

No file or test is named; start by locating the git diff view implementation and inspecting how changed and unchanged lines render their +/- icons. Reproduce the issue with a file containing additions or deletions, then verify that content has consistent horizontal alignment for every line.
