For myself, it took about 4 months to discover the problem, and another month to discover a workaround (which is to select a zoom level for which the marker happens to be in the right place). My source code repository now has a mix of line widths from the 4 months of work during which I was unaware of the problem, and my git log is littered with "fix line widths"-type entries. To properly repair the damage, I had to spend an hour setting up checkstyle and going into each file to correct all the line widths. Increased the bug priority to "Critical" for this reason. was (Author: ebakke): Drawing the end-of-line marker in the wrong place has turned out to be a quite bad bug.

Austin Stephens, am I correct to guess that you have a Retina screen? (I.e. MacBook Pro, not a MacBook Air?) I'm on Windows myself, but I have a Lenovo X1 carbon laptop with a HiDPI screen. The bug occurs on _all_ fonts I have tried, at several sizes, but _only_ when the screen scaling is set at something else than 100% (specifically 150% or 200%; the latter is Windows 10's default setting on these kinds of screens). Note that setting screen scaling to 100% is not a practical option on these screens, as everything would become super-tiny. The bug occurred with _all_ of the monospaced fonts that I tried: * Consolas 13 * Lucida Sans Typewriter 13 * Courier New 13 * Monospaced 13 * Monospaced 18 To reproduce the bug, run NetBeans on either a MacBook with a retina-enabled screen, or a Windows laptop with a HiDPI screen set to zoom level 150% or 200%. Then type a line in the editor that's exactly as many characters wide as the right margin marker line _should_ reach. Then zoom in or out and observe that the right margin marker line moves to the left or right of the end of the line depending on the zoom level. (On some zoom levels the right margin marker line actually appears in the right position--but there's no way the user can see this during regular use, without counting up the characters manually first.) was (Author: ebakke): After some experimentation, I think this bug is _not_ related to the choice of font, but rather to the editor zoom level, in combination with HiDPI (on Windows) or Retina (on MacOS) screens.

While the issue has a workaround (manually adjust the zoom level until manual inspection reveals the end-of-line marker to be in the right position), it makes the editor zoom feature much less usable--so I'd say this is a bug that should be fixed in NetBeans. > Tabs, characters, and the right Margin don't line up > > > Key: NETBEANS-346 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-346 > Project: NetBeans > Issue Type: Bug > Components: editor - Other >Affects Versions: 9.0 > Environment: Mac OS 10.10 (at least) >Reporter: Austin Stephens >Priority: Major > Attachments: Screen Shot 2018-01-29 at 4.58.35 PM.png, Screen Shot > 2018-02-28 at 11.27.32 AM.png, linewidth.png > > > When the Right Margin is set at 80 chars, it is drawn at 8*2* chars.
