Comment line rendering offset when using mixed fonts (Fira Code + Cascadia Code)

Type: Bug

I've found a small bug in VS Code. My code uses Fira Code as the main font, while comments use Cascadia Code. When I save and format the code, the comment line still occupies a line number, but I cannot select it (click on it), and the code below gets "squeezed" upward – they overlap. For example:

python

```
print()
# comment
print()
```

The line numbers are still 1, 2, 3, but in the editor the comment line appears to be "out of flow" – it doesn't have its own vertical space, the two `print` statements are right next to each other, and the comment floats above them. Is there any way to work around this?
