STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Konsole 2. Start typing lowercase and uppercase letters as well as spaces 3. Eventually the cursor is offset OBSERVED RESULT The cursor is not at its intended position EXPECTED RESULT It should be at exactly its intended position SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora KDE 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The font I am using is JetBrainsMono, but it also appears to be the same with other fonts as I have tried.
Hi - does editing your Konsole profile to turn off "Word mode" - from within the Edit Profile dialog, go to the Appearance page and the Complex Text Layout tab - help in this case? (Referencing issues like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459398 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494788 ) Thanks!

Yes. Sorry that it took me this long. Disabling word mode resolves this character offset, but this should work normally with word mode. A regression?
Thanks for confirming - this seems like it might be either a monospace font version of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=459398 , or - if that font does in fact vary its character widths slightly - another instance of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483292 . Could you please capture a screenshot or screencast example of how it's rendering on your device, and attach that to this report? And for context, word mode is disabled by default going forward in Konsole, as described here: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/1044 Thanks!
