For others, your issue has been closed with a fix, see Add option to ignore changes in trim whitespace in quick diff .

The new setting is:

SCM: Diff Decorations Ignore Trim Whitespace

Controls whether leading and trailing whitespace is ignored in Source Control diff gutter decorations.

Options:

  1. true: Ignore leading and trailing whitespace
  2. false: Do not ignore leading and trailing whitespace (default)
  3. inherit: Inherit from diffEditor.IgnoreTrimWhitespace

This new setting is working in the Insiders' Build (and so may be out in v1.63) - it only affects whether those scm gutter decorations appear when they are caused by leading or trailing whitespace.

Just want to add that if you'd like to quickly toggle ignoring leading/trailing whitespace, you could assign a shortcut for toggle.diff.ignoreTrimWhitespace, I'm using Alt+Y for this.
