Describe the bug
Hello,
First, thank you for creating such a useful and versatile code editor. It has greatly improved my workflow, and I appreciate the effort put into making a reliable tool for developers.
Problem Summary
When working with Arabic text inside the editor I encounter two distinct problems:
-
Misplaced error indicator
- When an Arabic word is flagged as incorrect, the underline/marker appears at the wrong position, often offset by one or more characters.
-
Unintended character deletion
- Deleting a single character from an Arabic word sometimes removes an additional, unrelated character in the same word.
Example (XML file):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='no' ?>
<opml version="2.0">
<head>
<title>إسلام بودكاست | د. حازم شومان</title>
<dateCreated>01 Apr 26 17:50:31 +0200</dateCreated>
</head>
<body>
<outline text="خطب الجمعة | د. حازم شومان"
title="خطب الجمعة | د. حازم شومان"
type="rss"
xmlUrl="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dev-fos/islampodcast/main/حازم-شومان/خطب-الجمعة.xml"
htmlUrl="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVPp4tYPys9MxsCWyA5z60h55qMTheKjz" />
</body>
</opml>
- In line 8, selecting the word حازم inside the
text attribute places the selection cursor incorrectly.
- In line 8, attempting to delete the final character م from حازم (cursor positioned after م, then pressing Delete) removes an additional character instead of only م.
These glitches hinder accurate editing of Arabic content such as comments, strings, and documentation. I would be grateful if the team could investigate the underlying Unicode handling and bidirectional‑text support to resolve these problems.
Thank you for your attention and for the continued improvements to the product.
Expected Behavior
-
Selection: In line 8, when I double‑click (or otherwise select) the word حازم inside the text attribute, the editor highlights exactly the characters ح‑ا‑ز‑م, with the selection cursor positioned at the start and end of that word.
-
Deletion: With the cursor placed immediately after the final character م of حازم, pressing Delete removes only that character, leaving the word as حاز and leaving all other surrounding text untouched.
Current Behavior
- In line 8, selecting the word حازم inside the
text attribute places the selection cursor incorrectly.
- In line 8, attempting to delete the final character م from حازم (cursor positioned after م, then pressing Delete) removes an additional character instead of only م.
Reproduction Steps
Open the ACE editor a : https://ace.c9.io/build/kitchen-sink.html
Switch the mode to XML (or leave it in the default text mode).
