Yes, I can confirm this. git version 2.12.1.windows.1 git-gui version 0.21.GITGUI Tcl/Tk version 8.6.6 That said, it seems there are quite some topics about it, like [1], [2], [3] and [4], but the most interesting one could be [5], having some kind of a "workaround" at the end as well. I`ve tried replacing the "commit.tcl" file as proposed, and it seems to work correctly -- just please do note that it actually reverts the file in question to an older version, maybe (re)introducing other bugs while fixing this specific one, so it could be something you may want to investigate into a bit more before actually using it for good. P.S. It might be a good idea to start a new topic in situations like this (send out a new e-mail instead of a reply), keeping unrelated discussions separated and helping interested parties spotting the new topic more easily.
