Issue with White Lines Appearing in Visual Studio Code

[Ayushiwaskale]

Type: Performance Issue

I'm experiencing an issue with Visual Studio Code. Whenever I open my code files or work on a project, white lines (or gaps) are appearing between the lines of code. This makes it difficult to read and work with the code properly.

I've tried restarting VS Code and checking my settings, but the issue persists. Could you please help me troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance!
