Bug Description

SETUP:
sudo snap install ubuntu-terminal-app --edge --devmode
sudo snap install ubuntu-app-platform
sudo snap connect ubuntu-terminal-app:platform ubuntu-app-platform:platform
sudo reboot

STEPS:
1. Type some text into the terminal
2. Note the cursor is about 1cm away from the text (screenshot1)
3. Highlight the text (screenshot2)

EXPECTED:
I expect the cursor to be besides the text like it is in unity8 I also expect to see highlighted from where I am highlighting.

ACTUAL:
About a 1cm's gap between the cursor and the text and the same for the highlighting

This is happening because a non monospace font was selected. Related to #1656853

Can you try to change the font to monospace see if it's fixed? Then can you try to switch back to Inconsolata see if it's still fixed?

Thanks!
