Textfield cursor position problem on RTL

[ozc]

On a multilanguage app TextField works correctly if the app language direction is the same as keyboard language direction. But if the directions do not match cursor position is an issue.

Example:
App Language=Hebrew (RTL)
Keyboard = Hebrew
The text is added and removed at the end (left) correctly.

App Language=Hebrew (RTL)
Keyboard = English
When TextField getting focus, if the text is in Latin chars, the cursor is at the start (right). When new characters are entered, the cursor moves to the end (left) and new Latin characters are entered as left to right

eg.
Text1
[Tap on text field]
Text1[cursor]
[Add new text]
Abc[cursor]Text1
Abcde[cursor]Text1
Abcdef[cursor]Text1

Hope I have explained the issue.

Same happens on opposite language/keyboard pairs.

Probably a dup of #21679

[ozc]

Exactly. Probably the same part of the code causes this behaviour, for both direction and textAlign.

[zoechi]

Then I'll close this one. There is no point in having 2 issues for the same underlying problem.
Please create a new issue when #21679 is fixed and your problem still reproduces.
