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.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

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!
