I see the problem: the calculation of the width of the stretch of
white space is subtly different in the TTY and GUI versions of the
code.  It all comes from The Mother Of All Evil: having two separate
versions of code where in fact the TTY version is a proper subset of
the GUI one.

I will merge both versions into one later today, and that should fix
the bug.
