I guess it's an TeXmaker issue. You should consult a corresponding
mailing list.

FYI: If you intent to use LaTeX for your every day work have a look
at Emacs (emacs-snapshot-common → with antialiased fonts) and AUCTeX
(Ubuntu's version is still outdated, download from [1]). It's not
that eye candy but much more powerful than TeXmaker. In the last
twelve years I tested many LaTeX editors and always ended up with
Emacs and AUCTeX.

Yes, that's the expected output.
