Originally I had this problem in gentoo and assumed in the end it's likely due to my specific configuration. However recently I switched to nixos and am still experiencing it.

I've search again if I can find anything and lo and behold, it's already fixed in the *windows* version of git-gui...

issue thread: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1012 commit: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/1c4d4e7cbcf404c168df5537d55e9afd57f2b01b

I applied it locally to git-2.15.0 and can confirm it fixed the problem for me. If you need any more info/help from me, or would like me to test anything, feel free to ask.
