Screenshot of caret visible much ahead of end of text
System Environment:
Windows7 X64 SP1
Google Chrome 29.0.1547.76 m
Steps:
1 Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Module:Sandbox&action=edit
2 Make sure CodeEditor is enabled
3 Copy-paste the following text: -- अगर मैं कहूँ
4 Try to take the caret to the end of the text
What happens:
Caret moves much ahead than the visible end of text. It probably assigns one
visible space to one unicode character with no knowledge of glyphs.
This also means that the selection appears at one place while the text is at
another place, effectively meaning that the user has no idea what text is being
selected.
I've only tried hindi, but I'm guessing the issue would also show up with any
other indic scripts.
