Combining characters in mcedit not merged with letters

Important

This issue was migrated from Trac:

Combining characters in mcedit in edit mode (F4) aren't merged with preceding letters, but in view mode (F3) get combined properly.

That is everlasting issue. Is this a bug or a feature?
And if possible, if it is a "feature", fix this oddity and add an option for either displace of combining symbols in place or merged with preceding letters.

I am currently working both with RTL and LTR texts and would like it to be fixed, please.
