Description

Environment

  • TeXstudio: 4.1.2
  • Qt: 6.2.2
  • OS: macOS 11.6
  • TeX distribution: texlive

Expected behavior

By default, the current line is in the editor with a blue background. In some (not all) lines, the text is slightly shifted downward when the line gets highlighted.

Actual behavior

The text should not be shifted when a line is highlighted.

How to reproduce

Can you reproduce this? Otherwise I could produce a screencast.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the highlighting code in the editor widget, specifically the painting of the current line background. Look for any offset or repositioning logic that might cause a vertical shift. Check if the issue is related to font metrics or line spacing calculations.
