error shown when opening kdiff3 from Visual Studio

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. change source files in Visual Studio
2. compare source files in Visual Studio

OBSERVED RESULT
Files will not open with error. See attachment.
When confirming the error dialog and then conforming the files dialog (without any changes in paths), comparison will open as expected.

EXPECTED RESULT
Open file comparison without any error directly.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11 Pro

In addition, merging files automatically or manually sometime corrupt the files with strange special character at the beginning and the end of line.
