[QScintilla] wrong cursor moving

[David Hess]

I tried applying that patch in our environment and still see problems with cursor positioning.

I'm using QScintilla with the Python lexer and setting the font to Courier New, 13 points and bold.

The cursor positioning works with plain text that is not colorized. Anything that gets colorized is being rendered squashed horizontally by just a fraction.

On top of that, the horizontal layout of colorized and non-colorized text changes if you highlight it via selection.

So it seems not to just be a cursor positioning issue but also a layout problem.

Would be glad to help get this fixed.
