Caret (?) get misaligned while typing

Post by moitoshi »

Hello all!
I recently found CudaText and I like it a lot. Unfortunately I have an issuse that make the software difficult to use for me. I hope it is just some setting, given how customizable CudaText seems to be. I tried searching for a solution but don't really know what to search for, so I'm sorry if this have already been discussed.

ISSUE:
After some typing, the vertical insertion bar (caret?) get unaligned with the text. It sort of creeps into the text, making it both tricky to read and (even more) tricky to edit. The caret seems to move a letter or more to the left, so instead of trailing the word being typed, it is positioned inside the word being typed. See attached gif to get a better understanding.
Sorry for the slow typing. The pauses is when I try to figure out where the caret really are positioned...

Thanks in advance for any help, I would really like to keep using CudaText.

Pls try this setting: https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Cud ... _selection
The 2nd way: is to switch from Qt5 version to Gtk2 one.
