Hi Eli, thanks for answering! I think I'm getting closer. Just a few more clarifications if you please.

So only if it's a soft break I should indeed remove the last logical space, if it's before a hard break then leave it alone. > Only if you add some character after the whitespace will the > whitespace "jump" to the other side of the word. ... because the hard break just turned into a soft break and the newly typed character will appear on the next line with a hard line break after it, right? > No, it should show the space after ABC to the left of ABC, > i.e. immediately before the line end. Just to make sure, this moving of the last space at the visual end of the line can only be experienced with a moving cursor, right? I mean as far as displaying goes (and as far as line width computation for the purposes of line wrapping goes), that space is just removed, right? I'm trying to infer the purpose of moving that space to the end of the line instead of just removing it: is the idea to always provide a cursor at the visual end of the line so that typing can continue there or is there more to it? > What UAX#9 tells you is that you need to decide that the line will > wrap after the space that follows "ABC" ... but when computing the line width I should not include the width of that space, right? since it will not take space in the box in the end. >, then reorder the line as if it > ended after that space, which will produce this: > > لمفاتيح ABC > > (with the trailing space to the left of "ABC").
