Hi, Eric! I know I promised to check that patch out and get back to you. The first pard I had no time to do. However, I have installed the latest Git version (2.50.0) and my problem is fixed. Thank you for that. Have an awesome summer!

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 has become quite annoying that I cannot make commits with git-gui > and there hasn't been any updates. 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.
