And that is certainly j's intent, too.

You are now the second person to report this problem, so I think it's a
bug. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it here, and I've never seen it on
anyone else's system, so I have no idea what's going wrong.

The relevant code is in the method drawCaret() (Display.java:532); it's
likely that the call to measureLine() is returning the wrong number.
The problem is likely to be font-related somehow.

If you can find the bug please let me know!
