| Dec 23, 2020 at 3:07 | comment | added | MaxD | @KodosJohnson I have had the user script on all the time, so I couldn't possibly have gotten used to it. I still think the change is objectively bad typography (just look at literally any book/magazine/etc.) and the least SE could have done was giving us an option. But, yeah, they didn't, and fortunately the script works perfectly 100% of the time, so it's whatever. | |

@KodosJohnson I still prefer the 1.3 line-height. I've had the userscript on for a while, so I can still compare the two, and I still like the old one better

| Dec 23, 2020 at 2:36 | comment | added | Cave Johnson | I'm wondering how you (the OP) and other people feel about the line-height change now. I was also against the change at first but my eyes have since adjusted to the change and it seems rather normal now. | |
| Oct 19, 2020 at 13:34 | comment | added | Ollie | @einpoklum If you want to make a new post, go for it, I'll upvote ;) | |
| Oct 19, 2020 at 0:36 | comment | added | MaxD | @einpoklum Cause SE designers. I'll upvote anything that brings up this issue again, but they've had their chances so I highly doubt it's gonna change anything, and I also have my userscript, so I'm not really motivated to make the effort. | |
| Oct 18, 2020 at 18:57 | comment | added | einpoklum | I thought we had firmly established there was no reason in any relevant guidelines to increase the line spacing. Why is this not reverted yet? | |
| Oct 10, 2020 at 20:59 | comment | added | MaxD | @Ollie It's not who we are underneath, but what we do that defines us... :) | |
| Oct 10, 2020 at 20:39 | comment | added | Ollie | @MaxD Yeah...I don't think that SE's designers suck, it's just the decisions do...but they're their decisions. | |
| Oct 10, 2020 at 19:24 | comment | added | MaxD | @Ollie Install the script/addon, accept that SE designers suck and move on with your life, I guess. | |
| Oct 10, 2020 at 18:35 | comment | added | Ollie | This was asked over a month ago, still hasn't been fixed...What now? | |

@Ollie I get that they need to take some decisions that doesn't fit everyone but this particular change seems to have upset a lot of people. They did set the line-height in code boxes back to almost what it was, so at least they did listen for awhile. Perhaps a feature request to be able to select between a few pre-set modes would survive the dupe votes. It's not a request for a total reversal and it wouldn't have the kind of freedom I requested in my feature request so it'd be somewhere in between.

| Sep 17, 2020 at 19:47 | comment | added | MaxD | @Ollie They obviously don't care about community opinion, so I doubt it will change anything. Might also get closed as a duplicate if you don't add any new aspects. But if you still go for it, I'll definitely upvote ;) | |

| Aug 27, 2020 at 20:32 | comment | added | Michael Petch | It's not just line height. Something else has changed as well. I always format my code to avoid horizontal scrollbars in blocks of code. I have noticed they now appear if the number of characters on a line is near the right edge but is still completely visible. | |

| Aug 27, 2020 at 16:26 | comment | added | Larnu | I retract my comment on it being Stylus, @ChristianRau . There really is a bigger gap in the code blocks! Had to use my phone to get an old cached version, but you can see it in old vs new. | |

| Aug 27, 2020 at 15:56 | comment | added | Ted Lyngmo | Here's my take on it: Request for a possibility to adjust the spacing between lines for those with poor eyesight. It may be closed as a duplicate, but it's not just that I don't like the new format. I can hardly read code anymore ... | |
| Aug 27, 2020 at 15:15 | comment | added | Sebastian Simon | Also reported here: New post formatting. Unfortunately marked as status-bydesign. | |
