The culprit is the lack of a % char. This is exactly the right solution. The tabs collapse, but TeX still wants to put a space between the two items. Under these circumstances, you use the comment character as Balazs used to let TeX no that the line is done--and not to insert a space between it and the next item. For example: \framebox[2cm][l]{left}$\longrightarrow$\framebox[2cm][c]{center}$% $\longrightarrow$\framebox[2cm][r]{right} If you don't have the % you will get a space before the longrightarrow.
