Underscore (and maybe some other) symbols are invisible with some font sizes (DeJavu Mono Book 10.5)
Submitted by Yan Pashkovsky
Link to original bug (#781377)
Description
Test scenario:
- Install some gtk apps: leafpad, mousepad
- Select font DeJavu Sans Mono Book 10.5
- Save this settings, restart app
- Enter this text: "text_with_underscores"
- -> Underscore symbols are invisible!
- After opening text settings menu they become visible. If you select the string you will notice that underscore symbols will be under highlighted rectangle.
This bug affects every app which uses gtk framework for theming. E.G. Eclipse IDE (SWT toolkit with gtk backend) and Kate suffer too.
First I've reported this to libfreetype, but it's not libfreetype fault https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99485#c6
