Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve Ubuntu.
Can you confirm whether this bug is still present for you in the 7.10 release? I have not been able to reproduce the problem here with gedit using any of the Monospace, Sans, and Arial fonts, but I also don't see any obvious reason for the behavior to have changed since May.
