Weird Vertical Bars when Git Commit

[BlitDev]

Summary

There are some weird vertical bars when I try to git commit having EDITOR set to "hx".

My theme is rose_pine_moon

If I set theme to default, the problem disappears.

P.S: I use Fish shell.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. set EDITOR hx
2. git commit

[pascalkuthe]

these are rulers and intentional feature. The default theme just makes them less visible

[BlitDev]

How to disable them?

[the-mikedavis]

You can add a custom language config entry to override the default:

# ~/.config/helix/languages.toml
[[language]]
name = "git-commit"
rulers = []
