It appears that the maintainer of git-gui, Johannes Sixt, applied the
patch mentioned above to his git-gui tree[*] and that Junio already
pulled the fix from Johannes's tree into the Git tree. Although the
fix hasn't yet made it into a Git release, Junio has already promoted
the fix to his "main" branch which means it will likely be part of the
next Git release.

It would be helpful if you could try applying the patch mentioned
above to your local git-gui installation and report back here whether
it indeed fixes the problem you are experiencing. If it does not fix
the problem, then my supposition was wrong about the mentioned patch
being related to the problem you reported. If you're not in a position
to try the patch locally before the next Git release, then perhaps the
best you can do is wait for the next Git release and report back
whether it fixes the problem you're experiencing.
