I could reproduce this issue as written by you. I report usually not an issue detected by somebody else by email to UltraEdit support. But the issue is quite new and reproducible also with UltraEdit 2024.0 Beta 3. I decided for that reason reporting it by email to UltraEdit support. I recommend doing the same. The more users report an issue the higher becomes the priority for fixing the issue.
Here is what I have just sent a few minutes ago:
There is a display issue reported by a user in forum, see the topic: https://forums.ultraedit.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=19486
The caret (text cursor) is displayed at the wrong position on an automatically indented soft-wrapped line after a mouse click for positioning the caret in the long line.
Do the following for reproducing the issue:
Pressing now on keyboard first LEFT ARROW and next RIGHT ARROW results in a blinking text cursor at the initially clicked position on the auto-indented
wrapped line.
This issue is reproducible with:
There is no problem with clicking somewhere on the soft-wrapped lines of third line in the file with no indent spaces on the displayed lines of the long line. The issue does not exist on having not checked the setting Auto indent wrapped lines in the configuration.

Do the following for reproducing the issue:
- Open the attached file Caret_Position_Test_File.txt in UltraEdit.
- Enable in the configuration at Editor display - Formatting the configuration settings Auto indent new lines and Auto indent wrapped lines.
- Make sure the configuration setting Wrap at window edge is selected at Editor - Word wrap / tab settings for list item Default and close the configuration dialog window.
- Enable word-wrap on the opened file Caret_Position_Test_File.txt.
- Click with the primary (usually left) pointing device (mouse) button somewhere in the middle of second, third or fourth displayed line.
Pressing now on keyboard first LEFT ARROW and next RIGHT ARROW results in a blinking text cursor at the initially clicked position on the auto-indented
wrapped line.

Yes, the problem is completely fixed with UltraEdit for Windows and UEStudio v2024.2.0.39 as written also in changes.txt respectively changes_ues.txt in program files folder of UltraEdit/UEStudio.
UE/UES version 2024.1.0.32 and 2024.1.0.36 fixed the issue just partly with correct positioning the text cursor after the mouse click in an indented soft-wrapped line. A left/right caret movement with the cursor keys worked also already with these versions after caret positioning with the mouse button click. But moving the caret down/up with the cursor keys resulted with UE/UES 2024.1 in wrong caret positioning in below/above line with a strange caret movement on using next left/right arrow keys. The caret moving with cursor keys works now right with UE/UES 2024.2.0.39 too.
