  gedit problem with long lines

Bug description:
  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
  )

  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!
