What do you mean by "between"? are you using a bar cursor, by any
chance?  The default block cursor is put _on_ a character, so there's
no "between".  In the case you describe, the block cursor should be on ד.
Does that work for you?

If the problem is with the bar cursor, then it could be a bug; I don't
think I did anything special yet for the bar cursor in RTL context.  I
will have a look when I have time.

Sounds like a bug, I will take a look.
