Strange lines after logging in/out of remote desktop session

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

After opening Spyder using normal PC monitor, I log into PC from another PC with remote connection. The lines of the opened editor become strange: some of them are larger, some of them are smaller, some of them are more padded, etc.

I have the same setup and problem. I’ve found that the problem goes away after resizing the Spyder window. Not sure why it’s happening initially.

There’s nothing we can do on our side about this, sorry.

I don’t think you know how Spyder is built, but it’s a pure Python package built on top of a graphical toolkit called Qt. So even if we were able to find the source of this problem, it needs to be solved in Qt, not here.

And sorry for my brief response, but I have to answer ~10 issues here plus ~3-5 questions on StackOverflow about Spyder per day (which doesn’t seem to indicate low usage, as you suggest) and I try to provide at least a solution for each. In this case, my advice is for you to use Teamviewer or another remote connection technology if you want to keep using Spyder (if not, you’re welcome to use any other program you like).
