Mis-rendered monospaced text

I've been shamefully living with this bug for a few weeks and haven't reported it until now. It seems like a regression in 5.18.

I have my monospaced font set to Ubuntu Mono 11pt in the Fonts KCM, but since sometime in the last month, monospaced text in Firefox and Thunderbird has been rendering in a non-monospaced font, and all whitespace is removed. It's very reproducible on Phabricator code reviews in Firefox and replies to plaintext emails in Thunderbird. See attached screenshot.

It seems to happen no matter which GTK theme I use.

Here's my gtk3 config file:

cat /home/nate/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=0
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-cursor-theme-name=breeze_cursors
gtk-decoration-layout=icon:minimize,maximize,close
gtk-enable-animations=1
gtk-fallback-icon-theme=Adwaita
gtk-font-name=Ubuntu, Regular 11
gtk-icon-theme-name=breeze
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=1
gtk-theme-name=Breeze
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ

Upon further investigation, this seems more likely to be a distro packaging/configuration bug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1163734
