Describe the bug
I have the "Show ligatures in terminal" setting disabled, yet ligatures still render when I type in the input field.
For exmaple, .. and --.
To reproduce
- Disable
Text > Appearance > "Show ligatures in terminal" - Type
..into the input field.
Expected behavior
Ligatures should not render while disabled. For example, typing a period character immediately after another period should not change the rendering of the previous character.

I can see that this problem happens when you leave the default Hack font as the terminal font, if you change to things like Courier New or Osaka then the setting to not show ligatures is respected.
I'm also seeing this issue.
I'm also seeing that changing the font to Courier New avoids this issue. If I recall correctly, I believe that Courier New doesn't have ligatures, though. So, the bug may still be there, and not manifesting, due to the font chosen.
