I’m having an issue with Arabic text cursor positioning. When I move the cursor to the next line, I can’t move it properly to the beginning of the line.

It happens in WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, and Telegram, but not in ChatGPT, Notes, or X. It happens with both Gboard and SwiftKey.

Vivo X300 FE, OriginOS 6 / Android 16.

Hey @Muhamed_Abdallah  
This forum is for Cursor, the AI code editor ([cursor.com](http://cursor.com)). The “cursor” you’re describing is the text caret in your phone’s messaging apps, so it’s not something on our side.
