Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 19:27:29 +0000
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
When using the --color option of grep, if the final character matching your grep pattern is on the final column of the terminal, then the character is not displayed. For example:

[cid:image001.png <at> 01D315DB.011830A0]

If I make the terminal 1 character wider or narrower, the line and the colored pattern are printed correctly.
