On my computer (Windows 10) there’s an error in the IDE: when writing code, the marker shows up 2 - 3 positions to the right of where it actually is. This makes it hard to write code in the new IDE. No problems like this with the version 3 I was using earlier.

After each line, if I place the cursor there, it looks as thers an empty character at the end, but there’s not.

When changing to a different font, the marker shows up on top of other characters while actually being to the left.

Yes, I just saw that just now in the changes document.  
But I tried to set the scale to 100% but that didn’t work either.
