file editor: wrong font spacing. Characters change place as the caret moves
For a long time now, the thg file editor shows a messy behaviour with respect to font spacing, making it unusable.
My setup is not particularly "special", nonetheless I wonder if I am the only one being impacted by this.
- kubuntu 20.04
- thg 6.0rc0+1-bf50afed9621 (ran from source)
- mercurial 6.0+hg2.477737ffc729local20211130 (deb created via
make deb
and installed system-level) - python-3.9.5 (via apt)
- PyQt 5.15.4 (via apt)
- Qt-5.15.2 (via apt)
- QScintilla 2.11.6 (via apt)
I cannot identify when I started experiencing this problem, but it is at least some months now (I always use latest hg and thg releases).
