Code editor preview no longer shows additions

Body

As of today, it just awkwardly shows deletions

[adamlui]

Also sometimes, it does show the additions, but the diff view is so uneven instead of 50/50:

Every day the web experience just deteriorates gradually bit by bit. GitHub's front-end programmers should stop constantly adding unneeded things that introduce regression after regression, instead focus on working on the heap of existing bugs that frustrate users to no end (simply browse all the unanswered bug posts, start from the oldest and work backwards)

[asdacosta]

If the file contains a lot of code like that, the additions can be hidden.
Expand the hidden parts by clicking the blue sections to see the full code and all changes.

Re: uneven, that is for the 2nd shot, the columns are uneven due to bug

[asdacosta]

I never said the blue midsections. Since you’ve made over 30k commits, it should be apparent which part of the blue section triggers the display of the hidden part. The left side of the blue section does, but either way you choose to expand it is not something I think we should be emphasising on.

Which of these matters more and is what you’ll build on in the future:
The updated change or the obsolete one.

Since you’ll be building on the updated change and leaving the obsolete one, the updated one does deserve larger column to help visualise better since that is what is more significant to the future.

Indeed you said it, right here https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/130540#discussioncomment-9922773

"Expand the hidden parts by clicking the blue sections "

Since you’ve made over 30k commits, it should be apparent which part of the blue section triggers the display of the hidden part.

There is no part of the blue section that is clickable to expand hidden parts

The left side of the blue section does, but either way you choose to expand it is not something I think we should be emphasising on.

Nope it does not expand for me, you have a special VIP account then if it truly expands for you

Since you’ll be building on the updated change and leaving the obsolete one, the updated one does deserve larger column to help visualise better since that is what is more significant to the future.

There is logic to your theory, however I believe it is an unintended bug because it visually wraps old code too much for a designer to have consciously and suddenly changed columns as they were 50/50 since the beginning of time

[adamlui]

Also it shows as 50/50 most of the time, if it were intended change then 50/50 should show 0% of the time
