Subject: [PATCH 1/5] diff: handle ANSI escape codes in prefix when calculating diffstat width
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 08:51:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0ed992956e9db5eb6d3172d7a0aebd05f87cdf32.1773132678.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2233.git.git.1773132678.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: LorenzoPegorari <lorenzo.pegorari2002@gmail.com>

The diffstat width is calculated by taking the terminal width and
incorrectly subtracting the `strlen()` of `line_prefix`, instead of the
actual display width of `line_prefix`, which may contain ANSI escape
codes (e.g., ANSI-colored strings in `log --graph --stat`).

Utilize the display width instead, obtained via `utf8_strnwidth()` with
the flag `skip_ansi`.
