I just merged a change which I believe fixes this issue. Can you try building from main?
I have the same problem on Windows, but I believe the description of the bug is wrong.
It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with font fallbacks, it happens when using patched fonts with all the required glyphs.
Instead I’m fairly sure it’s related to how colored double width glyphs are rendered. For me it happens with telescope.nvim, but only if I set the option
color_deviconsto true. It does not happen innvim-tree.lua, but that’s because it has a workaround in the plugin itselfThis is not a unique problem to Neovide, some terminals also have the same problem, but others like Alacritty, which I’m using render the glyphs correctly.
The issue is discussed here https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/issues/674, and here https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim/issues/358 The fix for nvim-tree (adds highlight to the space following the glyph) is here https://github.com/kyazdani42/nvim-tree.lua/pull/162
@IBS27 @Kethku snap is just for Linux.
Lua shouldn’t be an issue. If you would like to test my config, you can use
Note that you need to install nvim-tree and nvim-devicons for this to work
