After a few hours searching while learning gtkhtml :-), I've identified
the problem in the file htmlpainter.c

I filed a bug. If I can find the source of the problem, I'll attach a
patch. If you know right-away how to fix this, please notify me.

The problem appears to be the get_space_width-function. For the font
used when HTML is off and the Mode is normal, it should always return
eight. Eight is the width of one character. The function ain't returning
eight.

I forced the space_width variable to use eight in html_painter_draw_
entries. It's now working correctly here. Forcefully doing this is of
course not the solution. I am at this moment investigating why this
function ain't returning eight.

The cursor is being drawn at the correct location, it's the
tab-character itself thats getting a to small width according to the
htmlpainter.
