However, the position of the text changes when you select text - it shifts slightly to the left or right. Moreover, you never know where the cursor is exactly because there are some additional spaces that aren't really there. Bottom line, the editor is unusable since the Java upgrade. I hope this will be fixed ASAP.

Can you try using Andale Mono 9 and Courier New 9 and let us know 
whether the text-shifting problem still occurs?

Thanks,
