From 000000b48f6e8cd193033ca24cb83b5804fad409 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: randymcmillan Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:26:54 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] fix: prevent UTF-8 slicing panic in Differ::fancy_replace Address a thread panic at src/differ.rs:271:52 caused by byte-indexed string slicing on multi-byte (UTF-8) character boundaries. The previous implementation assumed character indices matched byte offsets, leading to crashes when diffing lines containing emojis, mathematical symbols, or non-ASCII characters. Changes: - Replaced direct byte slicing with character-aware indexing using .char_indices(). - Added a regression test 'test_utf8_intraline_diff_no_panic' to ensure stability when comparing strings with multi-byte characters.
