I had this issue when the font-size in CSS was a differing value than the one I passed to the editor props. Resolved the issue by removing the font-size from the CSS.

Same issue. Please fix. Or provide a way to fix.

@MaximusDesign I also had this issue and found that ace is relying on monospace fonts. In my case the issue was caused because of global font-family settings overriding monaco that ace sets.

I found I could resolve by either setting the font in the editor to a monospace font or simply inherit

We're using styled-components so our solution looks like this.

const Editor = styled(AceEditor)`
    * {
        font-family: inherit;
    }
`;

I used a similar issue when deleting or adding to the editor the cursor is 4 spaces from the actual position. Similar to @MatthewLarner we used styled-components but instead set the font-family to Ace's default consolas and reduced the line height:

 const StyledEditor = styled.div`
      margin-top: 10px;
      * {
        font-family: consolas;
        line-height: 1;
      }
    `;

    return (
      <StyledEditor>
        <AceEditor
        mode="json"
        theme="solarized_dark"
        fontSize={14}
        value={''}
        setOptions={{
          showLineNumbers: false,
          tabSize: 2,
        }}
        editorProps={{ $blockScrolling: true }}
      />
      </StyledEditor>
    );

i got the same issue,but all way above does not work,then i search the solution from the origin ace, i got this https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/issues/2548. it's certain the font cause the cursor problem. change the font to monospace worked for me. .ace_editor, .ace_editor div{ font-family:monospace }

Setting the font family half solved the issue for me. The quotation marks were still problematic. I used this for complete solution:

.ace_editor,
.ace_editor * {
  font-family: 'Monaco', 'Menlo', 'Ubuntu Mono', 'Droid Sans Mono', 'Consolas', monospace !important;
  font-weight: 400 !important;
  letter-spacing: 0 !important;
}

hamzatekin solution with addition of monospace fonts worked for me.
