initial screen (helper is OK)

On text import (for this case usually from buffer, but from file should be the same) with fixed column-width.
If all column separators fits in the first screen (see gnumeric_import_initial-helper.png file attached) everything works OK (column separate helper appears on putting mouse pointer into data field).
But if not all column separators fits into first screen (and I need to move data filed right to select all needed columns), column separator helper's behaviour becomes inconsistent, up to it's complete disappearing (bit double mouse-click still points colum separator a right place, some example is on second attached image, using GIMP in expecting screenshot mode removed most of artefacts).

Maybe, it will be right to change behaviour, removing auto-appearing of field separator helper (making it appear after single mouse-click and disappear on ESC keypress)?

I use app-office/gnumeric-1.12.8 on 3.10.25 kernel Linux with x11-base/xorg-server-1.14.3-r2 (radeon video driver).
Maybe also useful: my system's sys-libs/glibc is 2.17, but I'm not shure, that used gnumeric was built against this version.
