Using Devanagari script messes up cursor positioning

[darsnack]

I recently started typing Devanagari script in Nota. This is a common script from Indian languages such as Hindi. It seems that Nota's cursor has trouble deciding the correct position for typical Hindi characters.

Below is a demonstration of moving the cursor to the right by click the right arrow key one step at a time. In Nota, you can see the cursor frequently ends up in the middle of characters. Compare this to TextEdit where the cursor moves predictably (and in a way that's intuitive to someone who writes Hindi).

Hey. We're aware of this issue. It's a limitation in our editor implementation. We've researched different ways how we can fix it. The fix will require reimplementing a big part of the editor and would take a few months so we've been delaying it for some time.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
