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:

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.

There can be seen that the caret (text cursor) is not blinking at the clicked position. The caret is blinking eight characters to the right. See the attached image file Caret_Position_Indented_Wrapped_Line.png.

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:

UltraEdit 2024.0.0.21 64-bit (Beta 3) on 64-bit Windows 11 23H2
UltraEdit 2023.2.0.41 64-bit on 64-bit Windows 11 23H2
UltraEdit 2023.2.0.41 32-bit on 64-bit Windows 7 SP1
UltraEdit 2023.2.0.33 32-bit on 64-bit Windows 7 SP1

This display issue is not reproducible with UltraEdit 2023.2.0.27 and former versions of UltraEdit for Windows.

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.
