[allura:tickets] #7811 Coloring of long lines in diffs stops too early

coloring of diff can be made dynamic based on length but I am not sure if this looks good.

As the screenshot shows the coloring in a diff stops too early if a line is too long.

Good point, it might actually be helpful, even if its not a common approach.  I think most I've seen color the whole line, or color the text (which would prevent the possibility of doing syntax highlighting with the text color).  Maybe a few bigger examples would help us see how good it is or not.

It might look the best but dynamic length coloring would have the advantage that it is obvious when a line ends which might be from a developers point of view more useful.

Yeah that doesn't look very good to me either.  I think coloring the whole row would be best.
