Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I'm using "urxvt", if it matters.
I started emacs like this:
$ cd /usr/local/src/emacs/src
$ ./emacs -Q -nw
That put me in the *scratch* buffer, naturally. I then typed
SPC SPC SPC SPC SPC SPC SPC
The cursor moved to the right, as expected. But after the last SPC,
something strange happened: the cursor (a solid white rectangle) now
appears twice as wide as it ought to: it's as if columns six and seven
(I count starting from zero, the way column-number-mode does) both
light up whenever the cursor enters them.
I've seen this in other places too, but I can't come up with a simple
description of when it happens.
I honestly don't know if this is a bug or a feature. If it's a
feature, I very much want to disable it.
This version of emacs was built from source whose last CVS checkin
looks like this:

xterm doesn't exhibit this problem; someone on IRC said that
gnome-terminal does.

Eric,
After you brought up this issue in #emacs yesterday, I spent some time
reading the urxvt documentation and found this:
-ptab|+ptab
If enabled (default), "Horizontal Tab" characters are being stored as
actual wide characters in the screen buffer, which makes it possible to
select and paste them. Since a horizontal tab is a cursor movement and not
an actual glyph, this can sometimes be visually annoying as the cursor on a
tab character is displayed as a wide cursor; resource pastableTabs.
If you start urxvt with the +ptab option the double sized cursor goes away;
at least testing it with emacs -Q -nw
