I noticed that the hbar cursor can be bigger than 1 character if there
is a TAB in that line. That's surprising as the other cursors do not
behave like that. To reproduce:

-switch to the hbar cursor (I used the extension cursor-chg.el)
-load a file with many tabs (usually your .emacs file will do) and scroll down

the cursor will become lengthy.

IMO the hbar cursor should obey `x-stretch-cursor'.
