  • Operating system: NixOS Linux 20.09

Additional information

This is a regression — this used to work, and no longer does. I do not know the last working version. It seems plausible that switching fonts would fix this, but I see no way to switch fonts in the configuration.

are you using a custom css? What is your installer version?

3

I am using custom CSS, but this issue also appears with the “Apply custom CSS” setting disabled, so I don’t think that is causing the issue.

Installer version is 0.8.2.

ok download and install from the latest installer and let me know if yous still have this issue.
