Are you using errorLens.alignMessage?

Are you using errorLens.alignMessage?

No, the settings I have shown are all that I have used.

[usernamehw]

I don't know then. It doesn't reproduce with these settings.

Can you narrow it down to 1 setting or a combination of settings (minimal repro steps)?

Does it work with other units?:

"errorLens.margin": "40px",
// or
"errorLens.margin": "4em",

[spikespaz]

I apologize for removing the issue template. That was disrespectful, and I missed some of the minimum requirements for a useful issue.

It looks like ch is the only unit that doesn't work. This happens regardless of other settings being present. Margin is the first setting I changed for Error Lens quite some time ago. I discovered it didn't work, so other settings were irrelevant.

[usernamehw]

Maybe it's the "editor.fontFamily" setting? Material Design Icons doesn't make sense to use as an editor font...

[spikespaz]

It does make sense if you use VS Code to edit your waybar config or your terminal prompt.

I believe that the problem only happens when that font is first in fallback. Will check.
