Public bug reported: I suspect this bug is not a gedit bug, but a font bug, however I'm not sure.
Steps to reproduce: 1) Ensure font is the default "Use the system fixed width font (Ubuntu Mono 13)" is checked. 2) Create two tabs, in one tab write: 1 2 3 4 In the other tab, write: <blank> <blank> <blank> 4 Switch between the tabs and observer that line 4 is in a different location in each tab. Using a different font "Monospace Regular 12" makes the problem go away, hence I suspect the problem is the font. ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879417 Title: with default font, empty lines have different height to non-empty lines To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1879417/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
