commit db9f41c03975654254cc10c7628ec8173dbc7f13

    Work around bug in QTextLine::xToCursor
    
    With RtL text, the method can be non-monotonic wrt x value (which is a
    Qt bug). To work around this, we check whether positions adjacent to
    those returned by xToCursor look better. Depending on whether the new
    x position is too small or too large, we look backward or forward for
    a better solution.
    
    The performance is probably not great, but this is only needed for
    user interactions, so the performance penalty should not be a problem.
    
    Fixes part of #10569.
    
    (cherry picked from commit da590925cd6749587b9f500ecdaa457e34bc0f4a)
