Active Guide Highlights Incorrect Block

[jlmakes]

I’ve put together a few screenshots showing how active guides frequently highlight the wrong code block. For example, the desired behavior of Fig. 3 would be to highlight the guide seen in Fig. 2.

OSX 10.10 (Yosemite)
Sublime Text 3 Build 3065

---

Fig 1. (Correct)

---

Fig 2. (Too close!!)

---

Fig 3. (Too close!!)

---

Fig 4. (Correct)

---

Fig 5. (Too close!!)

---

Perhaps I am using unconventional formatting — but I thought I would bring it up, as I would love the desired behavior; the way it is right now is a little... 😒

Could you please paste the sample code, the syntax name you were using, the color scheme and your user settings?

I can't really reproduce this.

Sure @FichteFoll

I’m just using JavaScript syntax highlighting.

Here is a screenshot straight from the config…

A more useful Active Guide would be the one connecting the square brackets.

Still can not reproduce. Might be yet another Yosemite issue because afaik this hasn't come up before.

I’ve narrowed it down to an issue with the font I was using (Fira Mono OT). It seems to be that when sized at 14px, it tricks the editor into drawing an extra guide. It would seem that certain font and font-size combinations cause this issue.

Switched to Ubuntu Mono and all is right with the world.

Thanks for taking the time @FichteFoll
