  Binary package hint: gedit

  Hi,
  
  I was editing a text file when the cursor began to behave strangely. The
  file contained these lines:
  
  CREATE TABLE people(
- 	integer primary key,
- 	name varchar(50),
- 	age integer
+  integer primary key,
+  name varchar(50),
+  age integer
  )
  
  When I put the cursor after the 'l' in 'people', the arrow key would not
  move the cursor to the right. Instead it jumped to the next line.
  Similarly, I could not add text at this position.
  
  Viewing the file in a hex editor revealed a lot of spaces (284 to be
  accurate) after the opening parenthesis. Probably I've added those
  spaces without knowing it (resting my book "beginning Ruby" on the space
  bar ^ ^). Still, I feel the editor should handle a few hundred chars on
  a line without misbehaviour.
  
  I attached a copy of the text file.
  
  Thanks for developing and maintaining this simple but useful editor!
