I see that the continuation arrows in the rightmost fringe have their
tips truncated.  Do you really need diff-hl-mode enabled to see that?

Can you try again with a buffer with wide enough lines to see the
continuation arrows in the window on the right?  This is important
because it would constitute another, probably different bug.

I see: The first pixel of each fringe in a window that has another one
on the left gets overwritten by the "vertical window border".  With
window dividers or scroll bars on, that border is not drawn.  I think we
should remove that border completely and draw a one pixel wide window
divider instead when scroll bars are disabled in a window and dividers
are off.  Tricky because scroll bars can be turned off individually for
windows and dividers are frame wide.  Strictly for Emacs 27.

As a workaround for things to come I suggest using a one pixel wide
right only window divider with scroll bars off.

Both dumps are completely normal.
