** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues #421 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/421 ** Also affects: pango via https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango/-/issues/421 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879417 Title: with default font, empty lines have different height to non-empty lines Status in gedit: Unknown Status in Pango: Unknown Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
