Using build 17.1.572.3212
The text on the current line automatically changes spacing:
like it automatically adds/removes some spaces or is trying to automatically reformat the line somehow.
Is it just that one line? You're moving the caret so quickly in the video I couldn't tell, but the other lines appeared OK. Please share sample text here that reproduces it or save the sample text in a file, UTF-8 encoded, and mail it to me at michael.staszewski@quest.com.
I was just moving the cursor with the arrow key. It also looks like the spacing of text gets "squished" together. In this vid, I am just highlighting the text on the screen: watch the text just before the @ sign.
I do have my resolution on my monitor set to 150% normal size. If that helps. I have to have this set this way due to having a 4K monitor and my eyes aren't as good as they once were.
When monitor is in 100% scale, it doesn't perform this behavior.
I am unable to reproduce this. I'm using Toad on a 4k monitor. By default I use 200% scaling as I cannot see 150%. I tried both 200% and 150% and my text isn't changing like that.
Please zip your User Files folder and email it to me at michael.staszewski@quest.com. Its location will be a subfolder of Toad's application data directory. You can find that location in Options on the Files and Folders | App Folders page.
Yup, same problem here. Makes is difficult to copy and paste because the text keeps shifting position.
@AndyScott and @sguzzetti - This issue will be resolved in the next release of Toad for Oracle.
In the meantime there are a few workarounds you can do:
- Choose a font that isn't susceptible to the issue. See John's table here.
- Check the Enable font ligatures option on the Editor | Display page in Toad Options. This may make Editor text a little less sharp.
- Change the DPI awareness mode for Toad.exe. See this post for details. This method has mixed results for us internally. You will know immediately if it will work for you as some UI elements may have incorrect scaling if your environment/options are conflicting.
- Use 100% scaling in Windows
