Weird letter spacing in Integrated Terminal for VS Code

[M16Ali]

Issue Type: Bug

Hi,

The letter spacing for the integrated terminal is all messed up after an update. I have tried rolling back to an older version as well as resetting any font settings but nothing has worked so far to fix it.

VS Code version: Code - Insiders 1.55.0-insider (d06d2f1, 2021-03-26T13:59:15.609Z)
OS version: Linux x64 5.8.0-48-generic

Does resizing the terminal help?

[M16Ali]

Yes, I did not notice that before.

Thanks, working on a fix this iteration

What we know so far:

• It seems to be related to the WebGL renderer
• It only happens on launch (I think)
• Both cell spacing and height are wrong
• The cursor position seems correct (so the cursor layer has the right dimensions)
