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... – Marcel Oct 27 '14 at 08:43

  • 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 :) – bugybunny Nov 02 '18 at 13:27
