You have been subscribed to a public bug: Using gVim on Win XP, italic characters are cut on the right when they are highlighted.
In attached screenshot, gVim highlights all characters in the same column. When moving from left to right, all italic characters in another line are cut off. After being highlighted the characters stays with missing pixels until you switch windows. Tested with other fonts and couldn't reproduce with Consolas, Deja Vu Mono, Droid Sans Mono. This happens even when Cleartype is off. I couldn't trigger this bug in others text editors so these are the steps to reproduce in gVim. You can download it at http://www.vim.org/download.php#pc Included themes does not use italic characters by default so you should install solarized for gvim from https://github.com/altercation/vim- colors-solarized to make this easier to trigger Once you have installed the app and the theme and installed Ubuntu Mono in the system, open up gVim and begin typing: :set guifont=Ubuntu_Mono:h13 :colorscheme solarized :set cursorcolumn Press i to enter insert mode and type in the file: <!doctype html> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Now you can use the toolbar or menu to save the file. Save it with a .html extension. Press Esc to leave insert mode. Now click at the beggining of the second line. Start pressing l (lowercase L) to start moving to the right. Now you should notice that the characters in the first line are cut off on its right side. Also notice that this does not happen when moving from right to left. ** Affects: fonts-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- [nc] Ubuntu Mono: Italic characters are cut off on gVim on Windows XP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868686 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
