kdiff3rc that exhibits the issue

I also had an issue with this, just to provide some more details in hope of recreating the issue for debugging I've uploaded my kdiff3rc

Here is some info about my computer in case it is an OS-issue:

- Windows 11 Business (English OS, Swedish locale), 23H2, OS Build 22631.4037
- KDiff3 version 1.11.2 (64 bit)
Comment 2 Viacheslav 2024-09-09 12:38:50 UTC 
I can confirm that the same issue consistently occurs on the latest macOS with kdiff3 version 1.11.2 arm64

What are the output and input encodings triggering this?
