Debug console prints convoluted text

Question

When I run my program in the VS Code debugger, the output in the debugger console is unintelligible. It always looks like this:

The texts are so jumbled that I can't even copy anything. It appears that the lines (rows) of text are overlapping each other.

Answer 1

I had the same problem, and just figured it out on my end.

It was because I had the "debug.console.lineHeight": 2 setting extremely low (literally had it at 2 >.<)

I changed it to something slightly larger than the font size (15 font & 18 lineHight worked well for me).

Hope this helps!
