Created attachment 284597 [details] Screenshot with Fira Code at 9px, highlight is on method name After my upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, I noticed that annotations that use the "squiggly line" style (`textStylePreferenceValue="SQUIGGLES"`) are rendered as a very thin line. If I double my text font size, I start to see the squiggles, but they are very narrow compared to the surrounding text (see screenshots). I first noticed this in 4.17 (2020-09) and I also reproduce it in 4.7 (Oxygen). The squiggles are rendered correctly on Windows 10 as well as Ubuntu 18.04. My hypothesis is that the issue is caused by the switch to GTK 3 in recent versions of Ubuntu.
