#2829 Improving font settings in string fields
I'm using KeePass 2.54 on Windows 10 (64 bit) and today I needed to compare the value of a protected string field (with sensitive data) for correctness character by character.
This was actually very difficult to do reliable since the input field for the value has 2 issues: The cursor seems to overlap sometimes characters a bit or makes them very hard to read and the dynamic width of characters put them very close together so that they are glued together pixel by pixel. Even quite many non-look-alike characters become nearly impossible to read this way.
Maybe just using a monospace font here already fixes those 2 issues.
If you have displayed the data to compare it, then it is already in memory in plain text, so you may as well Auto-type it into Notepad and change the font to Consolas.
cheers, Paul
