[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello! I'd like to report a bug. I'm running version "diff (GNU diffutils) 3.6, Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.". When I run it with --color=always and -C1, the wrong lines are highlighted: it highlights the lines that _would have_ been the line numbers of output if no context was enabled, but since there are extra lines of output, it's highlighting the wrong lines.


Best,

Alex Meiburg
