---------------------------------------------------------------
Drawing the end-of-line marker in the wrong place has turned out to be a quite
bad bug. 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.

> 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: Critical
> Labels: HiDPI, font
> Attachments: Screen Shot 2018-01-29 at 4.58.35 PM.png, Screen Shot

> When the Right Margin is set at 80 chars, it is drawn at 8*2* chars. This is
> annoying because I have a 1440x900 screen that I split vertically in to two.
> This results in two editing areas that are about 80 chars wide. I could see
> the margin line in both editors when scrolled all the way to the left. Since
> Netbeans (9.0 beta) is now drawing them at char 8*2*, it is not possible to
> size those editors so I can see the line in both windows and it is driving me
> crazy.
> This is a first world issue at the moment, but you might find code coming
> from mac programmers coming in two or more chars too wide in the Netbeans
> source code.
