Android Arabic Cursor Split

Question

I'm using a custom EditText because client wants to force arabic locale globally in the app.

Here is the code I use in the constructor of the EditText:

setTextDirection(TEXT_DIRECTION_LOCALE);

It works perfectly, but I have a strange behavior of the cursor as you can see in the image

Somebody knows if it's normal or how can I solve this?

Thank you

Found the solution there: https://ux.stackexchange.com/a/39639 Apparently, it's the normal behavior when you have rtl and ltr text mixed.
