--- Comment #36 from Bernard Mendiburu <[email protected]> ---
Dear Cosmin and Fellows Bug Commenters,

If I may, I would like to insist on the fact that this is NOT a cursor bug.
The cursors is, stays, remains at the right position.
This is a *letter-spacing* bug that makes the text being improperly rendered
when spell checking is activated.
I agree, you suffer from "cursor misbehavior" but, please, keep reading:

-1- Can we agree that "spell checking" should NOT change text rendering ?

Yes ? 
Then take you favorite "wrong cursor" file and toogle spell checking on and
off.
Text rendering changes, OK ?
More accurately, line lengths changes, sometimes expand, somtimes contract.
This is the bug. 
Even if the cursor where behaving OK, we do not want the spell checking to wack
our page desing.

-2- Now that's a spellcheck text rendring issue, what about the cursor.

Try this: 
- type aaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbb
- disactivate spellcheck
- place the cursor when you whant to inject text, between a and b
- activate spellcheck, 
- the cursor did NOT move on screen, even if the text did.
- insert text
- you get aaaaaaaaaainsertbbbbbbb

Conclusion: 
The bug does NOT move the cursor
The bug DOES move the text
The bug does NOT affect text insert logic

please accept my appologies for CAPPING:

*THIS IS NOT A CURSOR BUG*

As soon as the bug -1- is solved, the bug -2- is no longer present.

As we are helping programmers finding a bug, we should pay attention not to
send them searching in the wrong piece of code.

Thanks.
