            Bug ID: 62028
           Summary: Cursor skips by one character for Thai characters
                    (expected skipping by one block)
           Product: VisualEditor
           Version: unspecified

In Thai language, it is possible that many characters (at most 3 or 4) will be
on top each other. For example, "ที่" consists of three characters: "ท", "ี",
and "่". In standard textbox/textarea, including normal wikieditor, when you
press left, the cursor will go left by 1 block = 3 characters in case of "ที่".
However, for VE's editor, it will go left by only 1 character, making editors
feel that he unsuccessfully pressed the key. More importantly, with the way
VE's editor is, it opens possibility that editors, thinking that the cursor is
after "่", will accidentally insert text between "ี" and "่".
