<p dir="auto">Hi,</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm editing some files which include Myanmar text. This includes diacritic characters (meaning char + char adding a diacritic (above / below / left / right) the previous char). Atom appears to give each char equal space, meaning that I need to click right of the text to select it, and the highlight appears offset right, too. Each string makes it more difficult to highlight text appearing after it on the line.</p>

<p dir="auto">Put the text နေပြည်တော် in the middle of a long line to see what this looks like. This problem will occur with many other scripts, for example Devanagari used widely in India and Nepal - use this text: देवनागरी. Can you use HTML5 Canvas measureText() ?</p>

<p dir="auto">Support for Unicode is incomplete. Unicode characters are shown, but the cursor get stuck, and the navigation with the keyboard arrows stop working.</p>

<p dir="auto">The user was using this string as an example <code class="notranslate">ג׳ג׳ג׳dwdwdww</code></p>
<p dir="auto">Here's a GIF of me pressing just the right arrow key to get from the beginning of the string to the end:</p>
