Description

Sublime Text has rendering issues when CJK characters are followed by (a standard) space character.

Steps to reproduce

Assume the following three examples:

• 日本Japan / no space
  

• 日本 Japan / normal space
  

• 日本　Japan / japanese space full-width character
  

where Sublime Text renders these as:

Expected behavior

Render correctly.

Actual behavior

It seems like in the second example, the space character length is negative. Not sure, though.

Environment

As @TheSecEng said, this doesn't show up when running in safe-mode.

@jrappen Have you tried a different font? Could you confirm that the same font in another application produces a different result?

[jrappen]

@BenjaminSchaaf

Testing the following input:

* ```text
  日本Japan / no space
  ```
* ```text
  日本 Japan / normal space
  ```
* ```text
  日本　Japan / japanese space full-width character
  ```

This is Sublime Text 4069 with the default font on macOS:

This is TextEdit with PragmataPro Mono Liga:

This is VSCodium 1.43.2 with PragmataPro Mono Liga:

This is Textastic 4.0.3 with PragmataPro Mono Liga:

[jrappen]

@BenjaminSchaaf as a comparison here is Sublime Text 4069 portable on Windows with PragmataPro Mono Liga:

[jrappen]

@BenjaminSchaaf I tested again with ST4072.

Default font_options:

versus "font_options": ["no_round"]:

shows minor differences for the "normal space character" after CJK characters.

Can't reproduce on build 4112 on macOS 10.15.7.

[jrappen]

@wbond Thanks for testing, appreciate it.

As said above, using safe mode (previously) worked and (currently) works fine. I tried to reproduce by using safe mode and adding all packages I had installed while applying all preferences from my setup, which also works fine.

This is not a font issue, as this test confirms.

Not sure what is causing my issue, I'll have to test further to find steps to reproduce.

[jrappen]

@BenjaminSchaaf I believe to have found the culprit:

//  Packages/User/Minimap.sublime-settings

{
    "password": true
}

Can you confirm?

Removing that & deleting sessions fixed it for me in the main view. The status bar still has issues for me, though.

[BenjaminSchaaf]

Not sure why this was closed, I haven't had time to investigate yet.

[jrappen]

this works as intended according to a post by Benjamin on Discord

[BenjaminSchaaf]

Apologies I think I misread your message. Setting "password": true should affect the text rendering in anything with that setting, but not things that don't have that setting applied. I'm guessing that ST assumes the minimap has the same font rendering settings as the main view and thus things are broken here.
