Description

The primary example of this case is when viewing ls -al output:

And a contrived example of all three out of alignment:

This is exhibited in Windows Terminal and Visual Studio Code with ligatures enabled:

{
  "editor.fontLigatures": true
}

I don't know if this is by design, not possible to fix, or whatever... but I'm reporting it for posterity!

Research direction

Reproduce the rendering with ls -al and the contrived one-, two-, and three-dot examples in Windows Terminal and Visual Studio Code, with editor.fontLigatures enabled. Compare the ellipsis alignment and determine whether the font's ligature behavior can be corrected; done means the three forms align consistently or the limitation is documented.
