How come these give slightly different results?

(Note width of result field.)
It appears that the line is extended one underscore beyond the width
of the wider of the attribute name and value. Am I missing something?
test=# create table foo (this_is_a_long_attribute text not null,
short_attr text not null);
CREATE TABLE
test=# insert into foo (this_is_a_long_attribute, short_attr) values
('narrow_value', 'this_is_a_very_wide_value');
INSERT 0 1
test=# select * from foo;
this_is_a_long_attribute | short_attr
--------------------------+---------------------------
narrow_value | this_is_a_very_wide_value
(1 row)
