Hovering over panel output doesn't display underscores

I came across a small bug today related to the output that is displayed when hovering over any output.

If the output of a panel is text and contains an underscore (_), that underscore is not displayed for some reason. A connected panel showing the output displays the underscore properly, its only when you hover over an output, so I am sure is an easy fix, nonetheless was very confusing for a while.

Thanks for fixing!

What do I need to do to repeat that? This works for me:

I have the following (default) fonts selected in GH:

Could it be that this only happens on Windows 7? I seem to remember they changed the default code font from Courier New to Consolas with Windows 8.

I changed the font to Consolas and had to restart GH before the change in font was apparent also in the hover pop-up and now its working. Changed it back to Courier New and its broken again, so it would appear Courier New is somehow at fault!?

It could be. It's definitely a bug that the font change doesn't take effect until after a restart.

I suspect the font measuring for Courier might be a little bit off, meaning the underscore actually gets clipped during drawing.

I still cannot repeat it with Courier New though, but then I'm using Windows10 which may have better font metrics???
