[Bug]: Editor broken

[andrea-citterio]

Describe the bug

The position marker does not match the visible line and that makes it incredibly hard to edit a snippet. E.g. : in the photo the marker points to the first char of the line and not to the character visually pointed (between 6 and 0)

To reproduce

Edit a snippet and go to the end of the line: it will appear way beyond the last characteer

Version

2.9.0

OS

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Nevertheless, if it really is a bug, it should be addressed directly to the Ace, because massCode uses it without any intervention.

Hi Anton, I fixed the problem, your suggestion was very helpful. Here's the problem I had in ace: ajaxorg/ace#3036. My solution was different though: I just went to Preferences and deleted all the three fonts set by Default in "Font Family" (I don't remember the names).

@andrea-citterio The problem seems to be that this font family "SF Mono, Consolas, Menlo" is set by default and seems to be missing on Ubuntu. Can you tell me which monospace font is the default in Ubuntu or in all Linux distributions?

[andrea-citterio]

https://design.ubuntu.com/font/ This should be the default font family of ubuntu. I can't tell for all the other Linux distros. Here's a photo with the default font in the ace editor so that you can check for yourself.

I think I will add the next family "SF Mono, Consolas, Menlo, Ubuntu Mono, monospace", the last one will be a fallback if some one is missing. I think this will solve the problem in the future.
