Please post more details about "the issue".  The only thing I can
glean from the images is that the "good" version uses a fixed-pitch
face, while the "bad" one uses a variable-pitch face.  Your help is
needed in identifying the exact problem you are seeing.  E.g., is the
same font used in both cases?  What do you see in the Custom buffer if
you try to customize the face used by this display?  Etc. etc. -- any
additional details related to what you see will get us closer to
unlocking the mystery.

(I also wonder why you post here and not to the bug tracker.)

Thanks.
