This is caused by the way we render the unicode En Space https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+2002 For some reason swash seem to decide it’s a double width character. It could also be a...

Actually, En space is typically the double with of space https://jkorpela.fi/chars/spaces.html. So perhaps the font does that, even if it’s monospace. But since Neovim only knows pure unicode, it does...

You might also have ambiwidth set wrong for some reason https://neovim.io/doc/user/options.html#'ambiwidth'

Great that we found a workaround/fix. I think, I will re-open this, since I want to investigate what happens a bit closer and I can’t do it right now, due...

It seems like the real fix would be for Neovim to apply the same hack as this https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/6750. It can also be done in Neovide, with even more hacks. Or...

I guess alacritty and maybe wezterm, already threats all different spaces the same, and therefor works, since I did not find any issues in those repositories.

I think the workaround adds an extra space in some cases where it should not, but I might be wrong, and if I am, then this should be enough.
