Hey Radek,

I've uncommented the _HTML_CURSOR_DEBUG. These are the results when
typing "123\t123\t123\t123\n123\t123\t123\t123"

Not sure if this helps.

The problem I am having is that the visual blinking cursor is after the
first tab never at it's correct position. In fact, after each tab it
gets one character worse. After a new-line it looks like it gets even
worser.

Note that this is in "Normal"-mode while "HTML mode" is off. "Bulleted
list", "Aflphabetical list", "Roman list", "Numbered list" are also
having this problem when "HTML mode" is off.

However .. "Preformat" is not having this problem when "HTML mode" is
off.
