(better cut-and-paste the text than sending a PNG image)
There's always a misplaced line in the output (most of the time
a[href^=tel] { }), no matter where in the file the changes are.The part after the @@ are ignored by patch tools. They are here just for convenience. They are a guess of what the patch hunk belongs to. For C/Java/Ada/... programs, it's the function name. Git does not know about CSS syntax, so it guesses wrong (last line starting with a letter I guess, not sure exactly what happens when Git doesn't know the syntax). But don't worry, these are juste hints for human, they are harmless.
Sometimes it's even in the wrong position, above the @@ numbers.
That is strange. Do you have a way to reproduce this? -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
