(Possibly) Incomplete display of glyphs when there are a lot of glyphs in a font

Hi Very nice to use your extension, avoids moving out of VSCodium to an external viewer !

But I encountered a small issur with "Iosevka NF" font, a Nerd Font with a lot of glyphs :

The top bar with buttons for groups of 200 glyphs is spilling outside the right edge of the window, with button "3400-3599" partially visible. So even on a 34'' display not all the buttons can fit the width even with the left toolbar (Explorer/Search/etc) closed.

Possible solutions:

  • Move this button bar into a container that will make the flow fit inside (à la html "display" property set in a div)
  • Make the size of display groups configurable instead of default 200 ; at least from an extension settings property, but an input/select in the font display page would be much better. In standard HTML this is trivial, but I know nothing about VSCode extensions, so may be that's not as simple as in HTML. That would be great anyway !

That's odd, I'm not able to reproduce this in VS Code so this might only be an issue in VS Codium. Would you mind attaching a screenshot and the version of VS Codium you're using? I'd love to try and fix this!

Windows 10 + latest VSCodium.

FWIU VSCodium should behave the same as VSCode except on telemetry, intellectual property / logos from MS, access to MS marketplace. That's theory, but as often things are more complicated/subtle IRL...

[ I'm using VSCodium rather than VSCode because I'm concerned with telemetry and blackbox build of the binary from behind MS Corp walls. . MS Visual Studio Enterprise is another great tool, but I'm moving away from it for the very same reason. ]
