Toad for Oracle Base Edition (32-bit) 17.1.717.3711 Windows 11 Business, Version 21H2 I get corrupted display on DBMS Output tab if the line is too long and exceeds the width of the control. Moving over the line or highlighting parts of the line cause gaps to dynamically appear in text and jump a…

Hi Paul, I tried to reproduce it with this block of code but it looks ok to me. How does it look for you? declare i number; j number; s varchar2(4000); begin s := null; j := 0; i := 0; while i < 1000 loop i := i + 1; s := s || to_char(i); if length(s) > 20 then j :…

Hi John Yes, I get the problem. Clicked in the DBMS_Output edit box: [image]

FWiW, I cannot reproduce this effect either, using Dorlon's code, although I'm running 64-bit Toad... could this be a 32-bit issue? [image]

I can reproduce it on a scaled display.

Hi @JohnDorlon , any fix for this?

@Paul For me, the problem goes away if you go to Options -> Editor -> Display and check "Enable font ligatures".

Oracle Base Edition (32-bit) Add-Ons: 24.2.208.4458 @JohnDorlon The "Enable font ligatures" checkbox seems to have disappeared in this Toad Beta, so this problem has returned for me. I tried setting to Consolas Regular 7pt as referenced by the link, but it doesn't cure it.

Mike added some options to options -> Editor -> Behavior that supercede Font Ligatures. Set Drawing Technology to "Direct Write". That does the same thing as the prior "Font Ligatures" checkbox. I'll retest Consolas. Maybe I got my wires crossed in that table I created.

Another workaround, if you don't want to check "Enable font ligatures".
Change font to Consolas Size 10 or any of the fonts & sizes with checkmarks here
