Hi Igor,

It's the font that you are using that causes the problem. 

I found it weird, your problem, so I quickly made a form with a text field with a comb.  I did not have the problem.

So I took your snippet and added it to my form, then I have the same problem.  You are using Courier New, a font that has the same width for all characters.  I don't know why the problem is there as for me it should be in the center as with all other fonts.  I would report this as a bug to support.

I know it's not a solution for you, but that seems to be the root of the problem.  Maybe you can look for another font, similar to Courier New, but that does not have a fixed width.  I looked it up and it appears that there's a font called Hellschreiber, that uses the same letterforms, but is proportional.  The font is not freely downloadable, so I cannot test for the moment.  Another page says this: "There is a proportional font that kinda looks like Courier. It is called American Typewriter. "  Again, I have not tested.
