Expanding modified files doesn't show content properly

[nayefc]

This has been happening to me over a long period of time, on different computers on Emacs 25.x and now also in Emacs 26.1.

In magit, when I see a list of all files collapsed, and try to expand a file changes by pressing tab, on it many times it doesn't expand properly. Usually, it shows half of the content of the file above content instead of the current file's content.

Is this a known issue?

Nope, first time I hear about something like that. Are there any weird characters in your files? Can you reproduce with emacs -Q?

[nayefc]

No weird characters.

When I try to run it with -Q, I can never seem to get magit-status. I see a bunch of magit-popup- and a few other commands available only.

I ran (where N is the version) from the melpa magit directory:

emacs -Q --debug-init --eval '(setq debug-on-error t)' -L ../dash-N -L ../git-commit-N -L ../magit-popup-N -L ../with-editor-N -L ../ghub-N -L . -l magit

When I try to run it with -Q, I can never seem to get magit-status.

Are you saying you cannot invoke magit-status? That might be because your usual key binding is not available when not using your configuration. Try M-x magit-status RET.

Did you follow the instructions at https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Debugging-Tools.html?

@nayefc Hi, do you still have the problem? I think I am having the same symptom as you did.

[nayefc]

I am, on multiple machines. Been having it for a long time now its really annoying.

[bittopaz]

@nayefc I just got a workaround a few minutes ago, maybe you can try.

I was using j k to move up and down in the section, and seeing the problem.

Now I tried [ ] to move the cursor in the section, and things start work again.

[nayefc]

Hmm I'll try that and let you know

I was having this problem too. For future travellers: my issue was that I had fci-mode enabled semi-globally, and I think it was interfering with the section selection. Not the first time it's caused me problems, so I've turned it off.

[tarsius]

Since Emacs 27.1 there's display-fill-column-indicator, which works much better than fci-mode.

[smcallis]

I think I've heard of that. I'm almost all ported over to 27 so I'll have to start using that.
