Uh-oh. With 2.0.2 on my 15 inch MacBook Pro screen, using Cambria font, screen zoom set to 140%, the cursor gets ahead of (to the right of) a screenful of m's by about 1.5 cm as measured with an on-screen ruler. If I then make the window smaller so that the line wraps, forcing the cursor to near the left edge of the window, the error is quite small or none at all, but as I continue to make the window even narrower, the error increases until another line wrap, etc. With 2.0.1, there is no cursor placement error. Oddly, it no longer matters if the line \force_paint_single_char false is in the Preferences file--the behavior is now the same (faster scrolling, misplaced cursor) with or without that line.
