Description Paul 2016-03-15 12:45:59 UTC 
The "Underline" highlighting of spelling errors is not shown when using smaller sizes of some font families.

For example to correctly show the highlighting:

Liberation Mono requires size ≥14
Ubuntu Mono requires size ≥11

Whilst:

DejaVu Sans Mono (Book) and Droid Mono only requires size ≥5

There is some discussion of this on the openSUSE forum:

Known issue: since the painting is line-based fonts whose characters exceed the lower or upper bound of their own line height draw in the area of neighboring lines. When neighboring lines are drawn, these parts are lost. Mostly a problem in the fonts, but then again, would be nice, if Kate could handle it correctly.
