Changing Font Size in KDE messes up Konsole cursor space

[gimbleguy]

Hey Guys,

I noticed when I change font size in KDE the Konsole cursor space is messed up, especially if I arrow back it's even more messes up. How can I fix this? I tried to go back to it original font, but it's still messed up. I would like to increase the font size

Thank you

It doesn't happen for me. How do you change the font, in KDE settings?
Same thing happens if you change the font only in Yakuake? If you go to Profile -> New Profile -> Appearance -> Font

Hello

Yes I change the font in KDE settings. I change all the fonts in KDE settings to 14.

I've gone back to XFCE, I just wanted to report it.

ofcourse it doesnt happen to you, because you didnt change the font size *duh*.
i did, and the problem persists in MX linux 23.5 (KDE 5.27.5).
it can be fixed by changing the font to a "mono-spaced font" in KDE appearance settings.

IN XFCE, I just increase the DPI setting. Can you not do the same thing in KDE?

Good joke, but that's what I meant, it doesn't happen to me when I change the font size... *duh*

you mean change the DPI to fix the problem in KDE?
i dont know, because it says "changing DPI values from default will conflict with many apps" on the tooltip of "force font DPI", and i have seen enough broken GUIs in KDE, so i left it at default. i dont know how KDE is calculating the "default" DPI, though. for a 1920x1080 resolution it gives me 144 DPI (at 150% scaling).

Well.. the good thing about changing it, is that you can very easily change it back if you happen to not like it.

Give it a try.

Leave the scaling at the default setting and just raise the DPI. My HP 15's resolution is 1920 x 1080 and all I did was raise the DPI from the default 96 to 120.
