[Bug 1654875] [NEW] Konsole font rendering: glyphs cut off vertically

[Horst Schirmeier]

Public bug reported:

Depending on the text-cursor position (e.g., in vim), glyphs in a
complete text line in Konsole are cut off vertically.  These characters
need not be fancy Unicode ones, plain ASCII suffices.

Konsole font is the default one here (Oxygen Mono, 9.0), but due to my
Hi-DPI display (14" with 2560x1440px) I set "Force fonts DPI" to 192 in
KDE's Settings->Appearance->Font->Fonts.

This seems to have already been reported and fixed upstream, it may suffice to back-port the patch.
