I draw my own GlyphGlutter and noticed since 7.1.2 each line of text is drawn 1 pixel further down than what it should be, created a increasing gap with text in the editor as we go down the component. Looking at the code, iteration for each line use EditorUI.getLineheigth; removing 1 pixel (EditorUI.getLineheigth()-1) solves the issue. Finally using textUI.getYFromPos(view.getStartOffset()) as in 7.0.1 GlyphGutter code give also correct spacing. This bug is reminiscent of issue 182810 but the value of 1 is independent of font size.
The best way is to use the view hierarchy's methods (it properly handles possible line wrapping etc.) please see lines below GlyphGutter:525. Unfortunately I did not succeed to finish a View API for NB 7.2 - issue #205707 so please use an implementation module dependency if possible. I mark as dup of issue #205707 since it will be the only proper way for the future. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 205707 ***
