Description

Hi,
First of all i'd like to say thank you, for this excellent font.

Unfortunately I'm having a weird issue in VSCode when selecting text. I've narrowed it down to this "editor.fontLigatures": true. How do I go about fixing this issue?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

"editor.fontFamily": "FiraCode-Retina",
"editor.fontLigatures": true,
