I do not see this. With:
emacs-21.3.50 -q --eval \"(blink-cursor-mode 0)\" &
and then:
C-h i m Elisp RET
I get:
* Sequences Arrays Vectors Lists, strings and vectors are called sequences.

and with `Info-hide-note-references' set to nil I get:
* Sequences Arrays Vectors:: Lists, strings and vectors are called sequences.

both of which look reasonable to me. The only reason for the:
--eval \"(blink-cursor-mode 0)\"
is that I can not stand blinking cursors, not even for short periods
of time. Are you getting the effect you describe using emacs -q? Or
are you seeing the same I am seeing, but copied it indented
differently in your mail buffer? In that case, I personally believe
that aligning things further to the right (than in the two examples I
showed, certainly the second) would look ugly for longer descriptions
and make Info menus more difficult to use, because of the (in my
opinion) needless increase in vertical space used up by the
description.
Sincerely,
Luc.
