Word boundary search update

[durga598]

Update to check in grapheme text rather to normal text

[asturur]

can you help me figure out what is broken and how we are fixing it? what kind of text was failing the word search?

Check this jsfiddle

Ok seems good to me.
I do not understand this language ( hindi? ) and i do not now what is the expected user effect.

Take this grapheme cluster:

It has 2 cursor positions, one at the start and one at the middle, if you press space, it moves as a single block.
I think this is a fabricJs error, or the grapheme splitter you use is not working as expected?

Other example:

Then I press backspace to delete it:

I delete a grapheme piece and i get another grapheme, to me this is expected. and is fine.

Then i do it again:

Another piece goes away, fine.

Now my point is, on a real writing application ( libreoffice writer ) what does it happen, can you press spacebar in the middle of that grapheme cluster and split it in something else?

Yes it is Hindi, and most of Indian language works like that way. In google doc/notepad I tried, it works like you have mentioned. It removes one piece at a time, as the complex letter comprised of three letters.

And while moving cursor it takes as single letter

But using fabricjs, it takes another step in between, is it because of grapheme splitter?

[asturur]

probably because of the grapheme splitter used that is consodering it 2 pieces ( you can inspect the _text array i suppose

[asturur]

going to merge this, should not break anything
