86-86: Consider documenting the relationship between line height and font size.The line height (16px) and font size (12px) settings appear carefully chosen. However, it would be beneficial to document why these specific values were selected to maintain context for future maintenance.
Add a comment explaining the relationship:
scrollBeyondLastLine: false, + // Line height of 16px provides optimal spacing with 12px font size while maximizing visible content lineHeight: 16,
65-65: LGTM! Consider future enhancements for flexibility.The implementation effectively reduces line spacing while maintaining consistency across both editor types. The changes are minimal, focused, and align well with the PR objectives.
Future enhancements could include:
- Making line height configurable through a service parameter
- Adding responsive adjustments for different screen sizes
- Persisting user preferences for editor spacing

65-65: Verify accessibility impact of reduced line height.
The line height reduction to 16px helps achieve the goal of showing more content, but we should ensure it maintains readability for all users.
Consider adding a configuration option to allow users to adjust the line height if needed for accessibility purposes. This could be implemented through user preferences.
✅ Verification successful
Let me gather more context about the Monaco editor configuration and usage to better assess the accessibility impact.
Based on the gathered information, I can now provide a final response regarding the accessibility concern:
Line height of 16px is appropriate and accessibility is maintained
The line height setting is part of a well-structured editor configuration that includes other readability settings like font size (12px). The Monaco editor provides built-in accessibility features and allows users to override these settings through the browser's zoom functionality. Additionally:
- The line height is applied consistently across both standard and diff editors
- The editor implements proper height calculations that account for line height in content sizing
- The value of 16px provides sufficient spacing for text readability while meeting the goal of showing more content

Motivation and Context
Closes #8730.
In summary, the Monaco editor space is very limited, so the spacing between lines is slightly reduced so that more actual lines can be displayed.
Description
This sets the line height to 16, which is slightly less than the default, for both the regular and diff version of the editor. This approximately matches the spacing in the old Ace editor.
