I'm unable to reproduce the issue locally or with the WSL extension with the following settings:

"editor.fontFamily": "Cascadia Code",
"editor.fontLigatures": true

Does the issue continue to occur on a new empty profile with just those two settings and no other extensions installed?

thanks for the response. It has reverted back and i check the VS Code version that was the same so my guess is that was extension related.
