Hi,

I have noticed that the issue is with wine handling of the TAB character.

If you go on the messed text, select all, copy and paste into an editor capable
of showing TABs, (e.g. on kate if using kde on linux) you will see that all the
text is correctly copied and that in the editor it looks just fine.

The problem appears to be wine doing things like taking

This bit of text -TAB-> This other bit of text

and rather than rendering as

This bit of text       This other bit of text

(where the second "This" starts at the next tab stop after the end of text) 

renders it as

This biThis other bit of text

In other words, the problem seems to be wine miscomputing where to start text
after tab stops.

Please mark the status as confirmed as it is quite easy to check that the bug
exists. And if possible try looking into it: it is a pity that a piece of code
that actively advertises wine cannot be used in wine.
