Hello,

here is a bit of update of what Morgane reported, it seems that there are specific characters with which you can reproduce this bug like "(", "[", "{", "$", "\" ... (there may be others).
When those are followed by a lot of space chars the cursor position on the screen and the position it seems to be on, aren't the same. Furthermore if you try to delete the last character you end up deleting characters that are above the cursor and the cursor itself isn't moving from its position.

We explored Gedit's source code and we doubt that this is a Gtk issue. We posted a message on Gtk's bugzilla to ask them if they can confirm it is related or not. If anyone has any updates to make let us know.
