Caret too thin: possible regression in v17.6 beta1

[Yang Yang]

Hi,

I just observed this issue after the upgrade. Almost sure v17.5 worked fine.

The caret width has been set to 3 in the Control Panel (14-inch 2560*1440 laptop), and Notepad works fine (100% zooming):

Consolas is used for both editors, and EmEditor has an even bigger font size (11pt for Notepad, 12pt for EmEditor). Thanks!

After a little investigation, I guess it’s related to the introduction of DirectWrite rendering. However the caret is always thin with DirectWrite on or off.

By the way, the DirectWrite effect is amazing. Thanks a million!

Please go to the View page of the Customize dialog, and see if the “System Default” is used for the Width under Cursor Size and Color. You can also change the width here.

Thanks,

It works. Thank you!
