Editor rendering disaster

What does it mean when the editor starts rendering text as shown in the attached screen shot?

This seems to happen when I examine an Android layout in the designer.

Hello Alan,

Could you attach idea.log ("Help - Show Log in... ") after reproducing the issue?

You image just came across as gibberish.  I think you are best to post
the images somewhere and post an URL.

If you can't find somewhere to post, email it to me.

Gibberish is a good description of how the editor is rendering. The image is accurate.

Please try to disable third-party plugin (Auto-Format Text (2.0) ).

I did that, but the problem did not go away.

Running IDEA in JDK 7 I do not observe the problem.

did you tried changing font type? I think I once experienced same issue with some monospace / bitmap type..

Same here, I saw this once before and it was due to a font that Java didn't like. Just changing the font didn't work though, I had to also restart IntelliJ after changing the font.

Good suggestion. Changing the editor font from SourceCodePro to Menlo resolved the problem.
