Affected Version: (2.10-rc0-657-g7595f68) 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Open diff view in chrome or safari, wide enough to see column lines
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The column guide appears to be incorrect.  We have it set at 100 chars as per our coding standard, and the guide is off by 10 characters.  Examining in chrome, the guide appears to be done with a DIV set to 800 pixels, which from playing around with it looks like its just {expected char width} * {column count} where char width in this case is 8 pixels.  If I go into safari, the same effect is reproduced, however if I choose Safari's zoom by text option, you can see the text grow and shrink while the link remains fixed.  

It seems like the calculation for the line is off or some other metric needs to be introduced for its placement.

Please provide any additional information below.
