I've just had the same issue after a fresh install of Xubuntu 20.04 (replacing Xubuntu 19.10) and worked around with the config: ``` [styling] line_height=0;2; ``` Thanks to @elextr and @bencaradocdavies. Anecdotally, After the upgrade the lines in the editor looked more squashed together and now after configuring the `line_height` it looks as it did before the upgrade.
The editor font is set to Monospace Regular size 10 ``` $ fc-match Monospace DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"
