vscode: Diff Inline View is not showing removed code
Type: Bug
- Open a file that is stored in source control.
- Remove some text from it.
- In the “Source Control” menu, select the file to open the diff and see the changes.
- Toggle between Split View and Inline View. Split View shows the deleted text, while Inline View does not. The minimap scrollbar shows red though, indicating it sees the removed code.

Here is the Split View diff, where you can see that code was removed:
And here is the Inline View, which would normally show the removed text, but no longer does:

I have this issue in the latest vscode version
FYI this has appeared for me now in latest release.
The bug does not appear immediately on vscode application launch. Have not noticed any specific action triggering it, but will keep an eye out.

@hediet Time-correlated
renderer.logentries when something that looked like this issue re-occurred (except showing only the removal, not the addition) just a bit ago… hope this provides a hint at what might be going on.Edit to add: One other thing I observe is the only-shows-deleted behavior seems to happen on the second or later Replace (Ctrl+Shift+1) operation in the same file. Clicking a find result in a different file and then clicking back to the offending file seems to “reinitialize” things into a working state that shows the addition and removal as expected.
Edit to add again: This seems to be happening in the Replace Preview editor today. I’m not sure how to judge whether what I’m seeing today is related to the original issue or not since it’s similar squirrely behavior in diffing. Sorry if this is in fact a distinct issue.
Nevermind, I think your fix didn’t go to release yet
This actually might be a duplicate of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/198516 which I already fixed last week in insiders. Thanks so much @JoshHarmon for the log! That was super helpful to track this down.
@hediet this is most consistently happening to me when I’m viewing worktree diff, then staging it in the sidebar. It happens randomly, but I noticed this is what I was usually doing just before it does.
I have to Reload Window each time it happens to fix the issue, until it re-occurs sometime later.
Can you check/share the dev tool logs when this happens? Can you also share both sides of the diff where this happens?
I’m using the diff editor daily and so far I didn’t see this yet.
Another quick fix/workaround is to run
> Developer: Reload Windowfrom the Command Pallete. @ahkhanjani try that maybe?toggling the
Diff Editor: Render Side By Sidesetting on and off worked for meSomewhere in the middle of coding VS Code suddenly decides to do this. Closing and reopening VS Code fixes it temporarily until this happens again. That’s my current unsophisticated observation. (v1.83.1)
