Full line coloring is gone

[lczech]

Hi there, and thanks for this amazing plugin!

Since a few days, I noticed that the minimap does not show lines with git diffs fully colorized, but just as a very small vertical strip on the left:

This makes it really hard to see where diffs are in the minimap. Is there a way to get the old behavior back, where the whole line was marked in orange or green in the minimap?

Thanks!

Can you share your versions for Atom, minimap, minimap-git-diff, and OS?

Ah sorry, yes sure:

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Atom 1.57.0
minimap 4.39.14
minimap-git-diff 4.3.6

There seems to be a lot of issues with ubuntu 20.04 and minimap.
@aminya could this be a canvas issue?

Hm, it was working fine a few days ago. Not sure what changed since.

most likely updating Atom is what broke it. atom-minimap/minimap#795

Atom v1.56 updated electron to v9 which broke some things on linux.

Okay, thank you for the info! I guess we'll just wait for atom/minimap to fix this :-) Or is there anything else that we can do here? If not, feel free to close this issue!

There is almost certainly not anything this plugin can do. Minimap handles all of the rendering so it might require a change in minimap or Atom. I'm guessing it is happening because the current version of Atom has a bug in canvas rendering on Ubuntu.
