Cursor not matching the actual location

[simontorres]

Describe the bug While adding data to a request's body in json format, the blinking cursor is placed far from the actual location or where the action will be performed

For example, in this case if you press backspace it will delete the number 2 and as you can see the cursor is far, this is very distracting and of course makes it impossible to precisely edit complex json data without having to guess the actual position of the cursor.

The font seems different from the rest of vscode

To Reproduce I have no idea how to reproduce it, but I have made some mods to my vscode, such as custom icons, a different font Cascade Code and Fira Code. On a Mac, with the same settings (settings are synced) it works as expected.

Expected behavior Should behave like any regular text editor in the sense that the cursor should be place next the character it is going to edit, not an inch away.

Platform:

• OS: Ubuntu Linux 22.04.3 LTS
• vscode version: 1.85.0
• extension version: 2.16.3

Hi @simontorres Are you using a custom font?

See solution here https://github.com/rangav/thunder-client-support/issues/1326#issuecomment-1714123998

@rangav thanks,

Yes, I have Cascade Code and Fira code as fonts, but I have synced settings and the problem is only present on my linux machine.

I will try changing the font.

I just added the list of fonts to my current list and it's fixed now.
