Subject: Fixing cursor height when setting line-spacing
Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2023 11:14:15 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6fdf668f-4c00-4732-94e8-eefc84efbb60@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I'll get straight to the point.

I set the line-height variable to be a positive integer (16). My 
cursor-type is set to t. Now, whenever I move the cursor to the end of a 
line, the height of the cursor is equal to the entire line height. But 
anywhere else on the line, it's equal to the height of the character 
under the cursor.

I searched the mailing lists for some similar issue, and found one mail 
chain where it is described that since the EOL has no displayable glyph, 
the cursor height is set equal to the line height.

I'd like this to always be the case, i.e, the cursor height to always be 
equal to the line height, EOL or not. This is a personal preference and 
so I don't think it is a bug, I just think it looks good in VSCode and 
other editors.

I tried using the HBAR and BAR cursor-type, but whenever they are on a 
character, the character is hidden underneath them, whereas in the 
default cursor-type, the character's foreground color is switched 
appropriately.

This is my first time on a mailing list, so if I missed etiquette, 
kindly let me know.

Cheers,

Karan
