Arabic Text goes out of editor's border when aligned right on iOS7

[ghanemabdo]

Try adding some Arabic text ("اللغة العربية") to the editor and align the text to the right. On the iPad with iOS7 the first character ("ا") goes out of the screen boarder and the text appears as ("للغة العربية") while the text appears properly on the iPad with iOS6.x.

I tried adding a space before the first character, it appeared which means that the first character of every line will be hidden.

I am also facing the same issue wrt Arabic Text and iOS7, getting cut on right side. Please update when the fix can be available with commit number.

I solved the problem by adding the following code to the init method of the DTRichTextEditor:

• (void)adjustViewInsetsForiOS7
  {
  // in iOS7+, the Arabic text is shown messy having the first character always out of the screen right border. This is why the attributed text content view insets are increased by 5 px to move the first character to the visible area.
  if ( SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(@"7.0.0") )
  {
  UIEdgeInsets insets = self.attributedTextContentView.edgeInsets ;
  insets.right += 5 ;
  self.attributedTextContentView.edgeInsets = insets ;
  }
  }

Actually the code moves the right inset of the text content view of the rich text editor a few pixels to the right which brings the hidden first character to the visible frame.

Is there any generic changes that to be done, instead of hardcoding the insets.right + = 5, from DTCoreText team.

I think the bug must be in the manual layouting. Somebody should fix it there in DTCoreTextLayoutFrame.

@mpramodjain have a look in this location, the X coordinate seems to get messed up: https://github.com/Cocoanetics/DTCoreText/blob/develop/Core/Source/DTCoreTextLayoutFrame.m#L615-L620

This method is the one where the positions of lines etc. are calculated.

Oliver, thanks for the update.

However, we pulled the latest code and observed the issue still exist with the latest code also. We will check further and update any findings if.
