      Issue Summary

      Font spacing and kerning in Firefox on Windows 10 causes for some letters to combine together. Specific example discovered by client includes the letters c and l combining to look like the letter d, such as typing the word "close" will print in Firefox looking like the word "dose". This appears to be due to the spacing of the font, which renders in firefox as: Segoe UI size 14px Line Height 24px spacing -0.07 weight 400

      Steps to Reproduce

      Steps verified in Firefox 96.0.3 (64bit) on Windows 10 21H1 OS Build 19043.1466 Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0

      1. Open Firefox, log into a Jira instance and go to any project
      2. open an existing issue
      3. Add a comment and type in the word "close". Notice the spacing and kerning of the letter c and l make it look like you typed 'dose'. This appears the same when the comment is saved

      Expected Results

      The c and l in "close" and other such words should be spaced enough to make each letter distinguishable

      Actual Results

      The letters c and l look like the letter d, making the word look like "dose"

      Workaround

      in comments, add a space between the letters c and l, or use a different web browser.
