Description

In certain conditions, sometimes the editor is displayed incorrectly with this extra padding:

However, it goes away when editing the code, OR even resizing the window. This must be a codemirror bug.

Research direction
Inspect the CodeMirror instance and its parent container's styles to identify the cause of extra padding that appears intermittently and disappears on edit or resize. Look for CSS or layout triggers that might cause this rendering issue.
