How can I activate the "Track changes" feature in Visual Studio's Text Editor when its setting is greyed out?

The track changes feature currently is not active in my VS. When I edit a cs file, there is no bar indicating changes.

The setting "Track Changes" is perfectly uninformative: a greyed out, checked checkbox. What the hell do I learn from that?

I use the Microsoft Git provider, maybe that matters.

Anyone has an idea how I can turn on track changes?

If you disable the Selection margin option, the Track changes option will be disabled automatically. This is intended behaviour since the selection margin is the area to the left of the code which is used to show tracked changes.
