[Fixed] Eclipse editor text bouncing up and down under OS X

Eclipse squashing lines

Originally uploaded by Lenniboy

I used to have terrible problems with Eclipse on my MacBook running OS X. Editor text was bouncing up and down and all my lines were squashing. Have a look at the photo if you think I’m crazy.

Finally I have managed to find out what has caused this behaviour: It is the font size, which was set to 9.5. I’m not sure if the small size or the .5 bit that is to blame but but as soon as I set it to 11pt everything was fine.

I’m happy I found this because I was very short of changing over to XCode.
