Line cursor shifts underlying text by a few pixels #156788

Description

@jacekkopecky

The text under the cursor gets shifted by a pixel or two with line cursor. This can be really distracting as it sometimes makes it look like there's a typo or just something wrong in the text.

See the animation, in my normal environment and with extensions disabled:

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. use line cursor
