You are right. The cursor was two pixels off to the left, I just
fixed that.

It choses the fonts for prompt and text and then sizes the edit
fields to these two fonts.

Previously it miscalculated sizes which caused it to misplace the
characters in relation to the border. Now it does an exact calculation.
The previous guesswork may or may not have accidentially introduced
some visible padding. Now there is no padding between font and field
border.

But since the calculation is now exact, we can add some padding.

It did sometimes. I now made the widget is a little bit wider so
that the message neither touches or trashes the border.
