Version: (using KDE 4.0.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux When you start konsole, looks like the cursor is one character to the left of where it should be. If you use the cat command and use tabs at the text, the cursor goes far away from the correct position. The characters however are displayed at correct position.

You don't need to use tabs to see the bug. Any character moves the cursor a bit more than it should (look at the attachment 23841 [details]). Looks like the bug is more visible when the font size is bigger.
Hello, What font are you using? It looks like the font isn't fixed-width.
I'm using Andale Mono size 12. It's the default font.
Sorry... I think the font was called ae_AlArabiya, size 12. I've changed it to Andale Mono and the problem was fixed. The weird thing is that ae_AlArabiya isn't displayed in the console font selector, but it is at the system panel.
> The weird thing is that ae_AlArabiya isn't displayed > in the console font selector The font selector only shows fixed-width fonts, ae_AlArabiya isn't. I don't know why it shows up in system settings. In any case, Konsole should check the default font to make sure that it is a monospace font before using it.
