The selected position of my cursor does not line up with where you click on the screen. Its as far off as 5 or 6 characters. It seems to vary based on the position of the line at which you click. The farther from the start of the line that you click, the greater the number of characters that it is off. The issue is only present on my 4K monitor. This makes editing scripts very frustrating.

Ignition Platform: 8.1.10  
OS: Win 10 Enterprise

This is a known Java problem when using fractional magnification on Windows desktops. Use 100% or 200%.
