alignment textarea not correct after submit

i was testing some text in a code block and noticed that after submit there happens something strange with the alignment. See example below.

Number of characters left and right equal:

text leftside                     text rightside
text leftside                     text rightside
text leftside                     text rightside

Number of characters left and right NOT equal:

text leftside                     text rightside
text leftside                     text rightside
text leftside xxxx            text rightside (alignment goes wrong)

Before submit, the "text rightside" was neatly under each other; after submit the last moves to the left
If you edit my post, you can see what happens

There is no mistake. Only the output is fixed width. One has 20 characters the other has 16 characters. You are biasing alignment on a non-fixed with font on input, which is flawed.

They need to copy from a fixed with source as is. Any coder would tell you this.

It is clear to me. I do understand now. Thanks @x00
