Nautilus, gnome-text-editor, and PDF viewer errors in text rendering, specifically the pixels above and below when text updates

[5Glq5VMTWpIY]

Such as upon paste or scroll, the top of certain lines of text may be cut off, and artifacts may appear, as I have seen time and time again over the years, particularly in my text editor, and often not with the default font. It is becoming clear to me after multiple computers, monitors, and Linux-distributions that this is likely an issue existing for many GNOME users. This is my call to drop screenshots such that we can diagnose the cause of this problem. Examples below

I recommend the following: resize windows, scroll, copy, and paste. Go full screen. Minimize. Exit full screen. Repeat. Together, we will locate the cause.
EDIT: Font: M+1 Nerd Font (10.5pt) [GTK]

That’s probably:

Text cut off in GtkEntry (#7400) · Issues · GNOME / gtk · GitLab

A potential workaround would be to slightly change the font size or text scaling factor.

What scaling factor and font size is recommended? Is a patch available?

[EDIT: My “Rendering” in “Fonts” is set to “Hinting”: “full”, “Antialiasing”: “Subpixel (for LCD screens)”]

[EDIT: GNOME 49.0; Wayland; gtk4.20.2]

Just try slightly increasing or decreasing the size of the font you are using. There are no recommended values, this is just a workaround and which values help depends on the font.
