VSCodium 1.110.11607: Clean Up Font Size Padding for a Tighter Code View
A new build of VSCodium just landed, bumping the bundled VS Code core to version 1.110.1 and squashing a long‑standing padding bug that left extra whitespace around every character when certain fonts are used.
What Changed in 1.110.11607
The core change is a single line added to the font‑size module: it now checks whether padding or margin values are explicitly zero and applies those settings when rendering text. Previously VSCodium would ignore that instruction, assuming a default of eight pixels on each side. The result? A subtle but noticeable shift in how code blocks align, especially with minimalistic themes like “One Dark Pro” or custom user styles that set line-height: 1 and rely on tight spacing.
In practice, the difference shows up when you open a file with a font that has built‑in zero margins—your lines will no longer have those awkward gaps. For people who care about pixel perfection, this is a welcome tweak; for others, it simply removes an annoying visual glitch.
How to Upgrade Quickly
- Open the VSCodium settings UI (Ctrl+,), then search for “update” and click Check for Updates.
- When prompted, choose Install Update and let the installer finish.
- Restart VSCodium; the editor will now use VS Code core 1.110.1, automatically pulling in the new font‑size logic.
The upgrade is painless—no manual downloading of installers or fiddling with extensions. The only thing you might want to double‑check is your theme configuration; if you were using custom CSS that set margin: 0 on code blocks, it should now be honored without any extra work.
