Hyphen ligatures create overlap with other caracters
See original GitHub issueExpected behavious : monospace font, standard spacing and character width. No overlap
What I get :
As you can see, the "
caracter overlap with the 0
(it is a double-quote).
I have done some testing, this happens with double hyphen – and simple arrow ->. Writing several arrows or double hyphen in a row, separated by spaces, will eventually provoque overlap of entire words :
This will not happen in every code context… String litterals produce this effect all the time, I’ve seen it inside braces. I don’t know if there’s somewhere else it can happen.
I use vscode on linux.
