Yeah, they are the only characters causing the jump, but the effect of
that jump "ripples", in a way, throughout the entire box.  So even if I
move the cursor into the middle of the box, it will still be in the
wrong location, but when the cursor is moved, show_mouse_face is not
called, so I think putting the correction is show_mouse_face is not the
solution to this problem.

Thanks.
