@nyamatongwe Being aware of this now its visible in lots of places, not just 
lines of the same character, but lines with the same text on successive lines 
which occurs often in normal code.  Note that lines of the same character occur 
often in markup if not in code.

For example in `Platgtk.cxx` in `FontHandle()` constructor the three 
`pango_font_description...` calls the gaps between `n` and `t` and `e` and `s` 
appear wider or the constructors of `SurfaceImpl` show wider gaps between `r` 
and `f`.  Because these pieces of code make a column the artefact is more 
intrusive.

Given that code and markup are the main use-case for Geany, setting `TRUE` 
seems to be the correct default, but its currently hard coded so #3111 (the 
less common use-case) will regress, maybe making it settable is the solution 
until something (a Pango change maybe) allows both #3111 and this issue to be 
fixed at the same time.
