Editor View shows extraneous vertical lines next to a number of character boundaries at 150% scaling #466

Hi,

I just downloaded the 09/27 nightly (3d868ac) for Windows. When I run it on a 1920x1080 laptop screen at 150% scaling, the Editor View shows extraneous vertical lines next to a number of character boundaries.

With 150% scaling it looks like this:

With 100% scaling it looks right (this is on an RDP session):

I'm pretty sure this is an issue with Scintilla (Textadept's editing component), so there's nothing I can do here :( You could try reporting it to the Scintilla mailing list (https://groups.google.com/g/scintilla-interest) or issue tracker (https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/bugs/). On Windows, Textadept is using the Qt platform for Scintilla.

I understand. Thanks!

The issue in Textadept could have to do with Qt, which SciTE ("a SCIntilla based Text Editor") doesn't rely on -- SciTE renders the buffer fine under 150% scaling:

Correct. SciTE uses some native Windows rendering.
