I'm affected by this bug too. I have also noticed that it depends on the font and on the font size.

For me, it occurs whether Kdiff3 is run from Unity 2D/3D or Gnome Classic/Shell.

My Ubuntu 12.04 is installed as a VMware Player guest within a Windows 7 host.

The worst consequence of this bug for me is that if you edit a modification during a manual merge, the cursor is not showing where you are actually typing, but a few characters before. This is a nightmare to use.

This bug may be common to all KDE applications: With Kate or Kdevelop, the same column is not painted at the same position for all lines (using mono fonts). E.g., you can see on the attached screenshot that "int a" and "int b" are not aligned albeit on the same column. It also depends on the font and on the font size.
