I'm encountering a strange issue in the Ignition Editor. When I select and then deselect text, the lines in the editor seem to shift or change places unexpectedly.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is this a known bug, or is there a workaround that I might be missing?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, I see that, it's like something goes bold or some kerning changes, but... I don't see how it can cause any loss of productivity.

I saw this and thought I should share it. It was just a suggestion on text editor

I've honestly never noticed this. I'll try to see if I can reproduce, but it's probably going to end up a very low priority bug we file upstream with the code editing library we use.
