It's a known bug in Delta:
https://github.com/dandavison/delta/issues/1259
> I don’t think I’ve seen this behavior with `git --no-pager`.

I think it is a good idea to also see what happens when using another pager, for example, less (`git -c core.pager=less ...`) or cat (`git -c core.pager=cat ...`).

Michael, can you run with those three mentioned options and see what happens? Last year I spent some hours trying to find the cause of the same bug in Git but then I found out that it was actually a bug in Delta.
