title: Cursor behind the hint
body: <p>I have a problem with an <code>EditText</code> where gravity is set to center. Because of that I had to put the attribute <code>android:ellipsize="start"</code> for the hint to appear in the center.</p>
  
  <p>However, the hint appears before the cursor, which gives a rather ugly appearance to the application:</p>

  <p>What I want to do is display the cursor before the text. Any suggestions for this?</p>
