But then two more were reported in the message you are responding
to, and they stem from the same underlying logic bug where byte
count and display columns are mixed interchangeably.

The graph stuff pushes your "start of line" to the right, making the
available screen real estate narrower.  I do not think in the
current code we need to worry about unicode vs ascii (IIRC, we stick
to ASCII graphics while drawing lines), but we do need to take into
account the fact that ANSI COLOR escape sequences have non-zero byte
count while occupying zero display columns.

The other bug about the code that finds which / to use to abbreviate
a long pathname on diffstat lines does involve byte vs column that
comes from unicode.  From the bug description in the message you are
responding to, if we have a directory name whose display columns and
byte count are significantly different, the end result by chopping
with the current code would end up wider than it should be, which
sounds like a recipe to cook up a test case to me.
