Hello there,
Often, my terminal-output is not properly aligned:

Though this is not a big deal, it doesn't look too nice and can be a bit confusing from time to time. How can I fix this?
Here is my ~./bashrc, if it matters:
# ~/.bashrc
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '

What font is your terminal using?
It needs to be a monospaced font for proper alignment.

It is Monospace. I can narrow the gap between the columns by choosing another font (e.g. DejaVuSans Mono). But this has no effect regarding the alignment.

Looks like a "swapon -s" issue to me, I think it did not expect a swap size > 10GB (or more than 7 digits). My output is identical but properly aligned, but I have only half of your swap set.

@phw Swapon -s was just an example. It happens on numerous occasions.
This is really the strangest problem I ever came across, because everything works fine when using Live-CDs (no matter, what branch, eg. archbang, xubuntu ...everything is properly formatted)? But when i install them physical, my terminal gets messed up? Whatever. I think I just have to live with it for now.

Maybe I don't understand the issue then. Is there also a problem with the "swapon --show" you posted? Because that just looks fine for me

No , <swapon ---show> is indeed perfectly fine. The second command was just for demonstration how I wanted it to be every time.
