<p>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:</p>
<pre><code>[styling]
line_height=0;2;
</code></pre>
<p>Thanks to <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/elextr/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/elextr">@elextr</a> and <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/bencaradocdavies/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/bencaradocdavies">@bencaradocdavies</a>.<br>
Anecdotally, After the upgrade the lines in the editor looked more squashed together and now after configuring the <code>line_height</code> it looks as it did before the upgrade.</p>
<p>The editor font is set to Monospace Regular size 10</p>
<pre><code>$ fc-match Monospace
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"
</code></pre>
