In Visual Studio 2013 source code editor empty lines or lines with only symbols, such as '{' or '#', have smaller font size than lines with alphanumeric characters.

I'm using "Classic Console" fixed-width font. This font does not have this problem in other applications and in VS2013 on my computer at work.

EDIT: Actually this problem occurs with any font.

Inconsistent font size in VS

Any idea how to fix this?

I have found the solution. It was caused by a default setting in Productivity Power Tools add-on.

    This "fix" worked well - What a buggy "feature" though is this... Commented Oct 27, 2014 at 8:43

  • In the 2017 version of the extension the options are called Compress blank lines and Compress lines that do not have any alphanumeric characters.. No restart of VS is required after changing this option :) Commented Nov 2, 2018 at 13:27
