Description

Hi I am using Fira_Code_v6.2.zip under Visual Studio with great pleasure. There is something annoying though as sometimes, tabulations inside a text is not visible (text before and after stich together) when the length of the text before the tab is a multiple of the tab length. And it is only visible at 100% zoom. See the pictures below. My tab spacing is the usual 4 character.
Thank you

Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the tabulation case in Visual Studio with Fira Code v6.2, four-character tab spacing, and 100% zoom, then compare it with 91% and 110% zoom. Done means identifying and correcting the rendering problem without changing the reported behavior at other zoom levels.
