Git Diff is Corrupt

[SE2Dev]

I've recently been experiencing a strange bug where the Git diff preview in VSCode becomes corrupt, as seen below.

Issue Type: Bug

1. Create a new directory, and add stdafx_old.h to it
2. Rename stdafx_old.h to stdafx.h
3. Initialize a git repository in the directory and commit stdafx.h
4. Delete stdafx.h
5. Add stdafx_new.h to the directory and rename it to stdafx.h
6. Check the git diff view in VSCode

Does this happen for all files in that repo?

And for all files in other repos too?
