Arduino IDE has garbled text and text is placed away from the cursor

Using Arduino Installation & Troubleshooting
#1

This is hard to describe but just loaded V1.8.8 and the cursor is acting screwy. Text is truncated (see pic) and when i type code, the text will overwrite other text even if the cursor is in the correct location. Selecting text is weird too.

Also, how do i search the forum for this bug? All I see is a general search bar. Thanks.

No answer to the problem; I have seen similar come along in the past.

For search, click the magnifying class; not sure if you did mean that by "general search bar". It will preform a google search tailored to this site.

PS
Which OS are you using?

Thanks, I am using Win7. Weird thing is that it doesnt happen all the time. Hmm, maybe my graphics driver? Doesnt seem like that to me. Guess I will just live with it.
