I saw similar behavior starting in jEdit 3.0.x, on Red Hat Linux 6.2 with
IBM's JDK; In italic text (comments, et cetera), actual cursor position and
carat display would often be separated by three or four characters.

This occurred before the release of the AntiAlias plugin, so I doubt it's
related.  Being rather pragmatic, I solved this problem by removing italics
from all styles. ;-)
