Had a chance to sleep on it (literally), and I think modifying the <pre> style's margin setting in monitor.css is a much cleaner solution.

It works for me! Thank you so much for your contribution @dwightfowler-cd 🤗

Is this fix as simple as updating the css file ? I updated the file on my machine, and restarted the IDE, but the issue still remains. Is there a recompile of some sort required?

Hi @kapyaar. The fix is incorporated in the nightly build of the Arduino IDE. If you need the fix then please use the nightly build until the next release of Arduino IDE is made.

The download links for the nightly build are listed here:

This was solved in 2.0.1 but back again in 2.0.2.

Not sure if its only limited to when the data present within the serial monitor requires the user to use the scroll bar to scroll right (it seems as if the scroll bar is covering up the last row of text).
