Texmaker and TeXstudio ⇒ Overlapping characters in editor

[Martemoms]

I have a problem with what I think is called the editor. Characters are overlapping like you can see on the screenshot. In addition I end up writing the wrong place because there seem to be some kind of shift between where I want to type (where the mouse is pointing) and where I am actually typing. This is terribly annoying as I write and delete things the wrong places. I guess there is just some simple options I can change, but I cant figure it out by my self or online. Can anyone help me?

I am using TeXstudio.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, that looks strange. Try choosing another font in the editor settings. If you would like to use another editor, Texmaker is similar. I prefer TeXworks though.

Ok, I downloaded Texmaker, looks normal there. Thank you!

I encountered the same problem, and was able to fix it by unplugging and plugging my second monitor back in.

(Apologies for bumping a thread marked as 'solved', but the answer wasn't really a solution. This is the first result on google for this problem so I thought I would give a solution that at least worked for me).

Unplugging and replugging my monitor did not work. I changed the editor font to "8514oem" and it seemed to work. Options>Configure TeXstudios>Editor>Font Family click 'show only monospaced fonts'
