In my opinion, Dr Racket is the most bloated and most sluggish programming editor ever written. And the editor on windows constantly display strange unwanted lines (see for example this screenshot [1]. I had complained numerous times to Racket's news group because of this, but this has never been fixed. Very strange community, very poor tool.

My experience with Dr Racket is the same.

That looks like it's working as intended, to mark the end of the function. The lines from a symbol to its definition look even weirder, but I can see the appeal. A setting to toggle them would be reasonable, but they're not going to get rid of them, if that's what you asked for.

That looks like underline has been enabled for parenthesis. Dr. Racket is _highly_ configurable. I believe you'll find the option you're looking for at: Preferences->Colors->Racket->Parenthesis (Underline)

I think the issue is because you're running on 125%-ish DPI scaling, and the program doesn't handle it well.

  Yes, I do have 125% DPI on my computer. When I set back to 100% DPI than strange lines doesn't show. But I want to keep 125% DPI and the point is that Dr Racket should respect that. But, Dr Racket is the only program that display strange artifacts on 125% DPI. Neither VS Code nor Sublime nor Notepad++ do that. As I already mentioned, I reported this bug many times during past few years to the Racket group, but the damn lines are still there, and that made the editor totally unusable. What should I say? Strange community, they don't care for this serious bug, they are preocupied with the wrong stuff of "speeding" the language with Chez Scheme. The result is crappy, unusable tool and angry users.

    Did you mention it's caused by fractional DPI scaling, when reporting the bug? You can set Dr. Racket to "system" DPI scaling (by accessing the .exe or .lnk properties), at the cost of rendering at 96dpi and being blurrily upscaled. The program is not good, the result sucks, but it technically works.

    Can you point to where this bug report was? I'll take a look at what happened.

      It seems that someone reported the issue more than three years ago: https://groups.google.com/g/racket-users/c/6dIb242Ve8s/m/us8l9q8MAwAJ https://groups.google.com/g/racket-users/c/6dIb242Ve8s/m/us8...
