[Bug 238762] [NEW] zwnj character causes the cursor jump in kde

[Platoali]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kedit

zwnj(SHIFT+SPACE) is zero-width character that is used in Persian(Farsi)
keyboard. It causes  two parts of a word do not join together. for example:
می‌رویم
if the zwnj is not used the word would be like this:
میرویم
which is gramatically incorrect.

The problem is that when typing zwnj in kde applications like kate, kedit ,
kwite, kbabel and etc. the cursor will jump from correct position in the text
to another place in the line, which makes editing and selecting nearly
impossible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open kedit
2.switch to persian keyboard 
3.write something with zwnj(SHIFT+space) between them
4.try to edit or select some part.

Actual Results:  
cursor jumps to from current place to another part of the line. which makes
editing text impossible.

Expected Results:  
cursor should stay in it place like any other text editors.

This bug exists in almost all of KDE text editing applications.
