Description Markus Trippelsdorf 2012-05-04 07:29:21 UTC 
Apparently the line-spacing implementation changed in 4.8.2
and now lines a too far apart compared to 4.8.1. 
I like a compact layout, so that I can see as many lines as possible.

Reproducible: Always

Are you using Qt higher than 4.8? probably introuduced by the commit which is intended to work around bug 280896.

Try enablig Bi-Directional text rendering in your konsole profile.

Thanks Jekyll. 
Yes, I use Qt 4.8.1.. 
Enabling bi-directional rendering fixed the issue.
Are there any downsides when this option is enabled?

Well, some users say enabling Bi-Di causes performace penalty.  I haven't do any profiling.
