FlatLaf data cell pixel displacement

[Chris Young]

Thomas,

I've gotten somewhat use to this over the years, but I thought I would mention it.   Only when using FlatLaf themes there is a lowering of character strings by a couple pixels when the reported data type is varchar >= 250.  This lowering makes it hard to read the extended characters such as gjpqy_;,

I'm using the default for Data font.

You can see it by running this select in SQL Server (see attached screenshot):

select
    cast('gjpqy_;,' as varchar(249)) as normal,
    cast('gjpqy_;,' as varchar(250)) as lowered

go

Do you know why this occurs?  Is there any property we could set for FlatLaf that might change this?

Thanks,

Chris

This is probably due to the fact that for longer strings SQL Workbench uses a different renderer to be able to display multi-line content.

Have you set the limit for that to 250 maybe? This is done in Tools -> Options -> Data Display -> Multi-line columns.

If you never need to display multi-line content (i.e. containing newlines) inside the cells, then I suggest to turn off the feature completely.
Or raise the limit to something that is more likely to contain such a content.

Regards
Thomas

Thanks.  I disabled that option and it works great.
