Diff line overflow when diff include chinese or japanese or korean

Question

Diff line overflow when diff include chinese or japanese or korean

I think it's because C/J/K letter occupies two bytes.

Is there any way to fix it?

And there are my gitconfigs:

[pager]
    diff = "git-split-diffs --color=16m | less -RFX"
[split-diffs]
    theme-name = dark

Yes, same as #11. The main issue is that we need to switch to something that implements grapheme-aware string lengths (https://unicode.org/reports/tr29/#Grapheme_Cluster_Boundaries). I haven't gotten around to it because it's a fairly involved change, but thanks for the nudge.

Hi @gitsang, I just pushed a change to handle wide characters. It should be in the v0.15 release. Can you try it out and let me know if there are any remaining issues?
