What's Wrong?

Edge case (and only "nice to have"): suggested edits may indent the actual code with different amount of space. The reason is the different length of displayed line numbers. At the screenshot, the indentation is increased by 1 space between lines, 89 and 91. The 91 has more indentation to align correctly with a later 100.

This visually disturbs how code is displayed above and below the "gap".

What Should Happen?

The code should be aligned vertically independent from whether the line numbering takes more space for different sections of displayed code.

A solution would consider only the last line number of all displayed sections for the line numbering/indentation of all code blocks.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create an original file.

cat formatter.rb:

class Formatter
  def self.format(value)
    value.to_s.strip
  end

  def self.truncate(value, length)
    return value if value.length <= length

    value[0, length] + "..."
  end

  def self.titleize(value)
    value.split(" ").map(&:capitalize).join(" ")
  end
end
  1. Ask claude to edit the file which results in diffs in sections before and after a 10**n line number
in `formatter.rb`, please `.downcase` the result. Additionally, rename `titleize` to `title_case`. Perform both changes with a single edit. 
  1. The Update is displayed like this:
